Marinated Ribs (Preferred Method)

• Combine all liquid and dry ingredients in a gallon sized Ziploc bag.
• Add cleaned and washed ribs (with membrane removed) into the bag and squish all over.
• Let marinade in the refrigerator overnight or at least 6 hours and up to 2 days.
• When ready to cook, add the trivet to the Instant Pot and dump the entire bag into the Instant Pot.
• Stack the ribs on the trivet to allow as much circulation as possible. You can stand them up, or stack on top of one another.
• Lock the lid and turn the knob to sealing. Cook on manual high pressure for 40-45 minutes.
• Allow at least 10 minutes for a natural pressure release. Arrange ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle additional dry rub along with a smear of your favorite BBQ sauce. Broil for 5-8 minutes to get nice and caramelized.
• Quick Method
• Clean and wash ribs, then pat dry
• Turn the ribs over and peel the shiny membrane off the bottom side of the ribs. Find a corner of it on the edge and grab it with a paper towel and pull. I've found that the ones I get at a normal grocery store always have the membrane, but the ones I got at Costco already had it removed. This is a super tough part that won't cook down, so it's important to take it off.
• Sprinkle liberally with dry rub
• Cut the rack of ribs in half, or quarters, if you like. You can leave the rack whole as well.
• In the pot, combine liquid ingredients.
• Stack the ribs on the trivet to allow as much circulation as possible. You can stand them up, or stack on top of one another.
