Yes, you guys! Back in action with the Instant Pot!
After I used it to make the Instant Pot Spaghetti, I couldn’t wait to put more delicious foods up in this bad boy.
We’re also back in action with back to school.
I feel like moms and dads everywhere are torn on whether they’re happy to have their kids head back to class or not.
I’m in the “not” category this year. Summer just went by way too fast!
Can they just go back in October or something? Because, I mean, it IS really warm here still.
It should be illegal to send people back to school when it’s still warm enough out to go swimming.
Right?? Right.

Ok, back to your regularly scheduled food programming here.
I decided to go with country style pork ribs because they are so very meaty!
I do like baby back ribs as well, but I’ve definitely bought them, then been disappointed at the measly amount of meat I got out of it.
Using country style ribs ensures that everybody leaves the table satisfied!
Depending on your grocery store, sometimes these ribs are sold bone in, and sometimes bone out. Mine were bone out. But, either one will work just fine!
I love how easy these are and that I can have some tasty BBQ ribs on the table in about an hour.
Yes, I said an hour, but pretty much all of that time is hands off for you because the ribs are cooking to super tender perfection in the Instant Pot!
The dry rub for these babies is made up of spices that you most likely already have at home.
You slather the dry rub on. Get some beef broth in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Put the ribs in and pour on your favorite BBQ sauce. Then, let it do it’s thing!
These boneless pork ribs will melt in your mouth, and become a new family favorite!

Tonight will be my third time using this recipe. The first 2 times I used chicken broth instead of beef broth and it was absolutely delish! I Also use garlic salt and seasoning salt instead of paprika and cut the cumin in half. One thing I don’t see you mention is using the trivet, which I do everytime to keep the meat from sitting in the broth. Thanks for sharing this recipe it’s amazing
Made these tonight. Only thing I did differently was I slathered the pieces (hard to get falling off the bones ribs out of the IP…lol) with more bbq sauce and popped them under the broiler for a few minutes. Baked beans and coleslaw rounded out the meal.
I doubled the recipe because we have a big family, but everyone loved this recipe!!! It was amazing!!
Delicious but make sure to double the dry rub part. I ran out with four ribs to go and had to make more.
I doubled mine to make sure I had enough 🙂
My husband has been asking for BBQ so
I’m going to make this recipe today for dinner.
Only thing I’ll do differently is adding a chopped onion. I’ll pressure cook green beans first and then do the BBQ country style ribs.
I’m pretty new to the Instant Pot world but I’m absolutely loving using my 8 quart Instant Pot. It has brought a new excitement into my 58 years of cooking, and that’s saying a lot!
I have made these several times and my husband absolutely loves them! He’s even super picky!! I marinated them with the dry rub for three hours in my refrigerator. Other than that followed your recipe to a T excellent every single time thank you so much The Salty Marshmallow ❤️
Timing was was perfect, and so was the flavor. Very fall off the bone.
Fantastic! Texture was so fall off the bone, but still toothsome.
Absolutely wonderful Meat was very tender and flavorful !
This is very good!! I want to see about making it with 7.5 lbs of ribs. What is the time conversion for an 8 qt instant pot?
This was fantastic! It is a winner!
I used my own own spice blend since it was so similar to yours. Thank you for a successful dinner!
Great recipe! I only cook for 2 so I had a bit less than a pound of boneless country ribs. I made the rub as directed, just didnt use it all. I make my own BBQ sauce with a lot of the same flavors as in the rub, so it was a natural fit. And I only needed 30 minutes cook time due to the smaller quantity. I’ve never made such amazingly tender ribs before! They were awesome!
A few minutes under the broiler with some extra BBQ sauce made it all gooey and even tastier!
Thanks for this tip, I did realize less meat would cook quicker.
Must try. Loved the simplicity of the recipe. However the best part was to follow. After removing the ribs i put the remaining liquid in the fridge. The next day I removed the fat and used it for a A base for my spaghetti sauce. Used leftover rib meat in my spaghetti! It was amazing. Crowd pleaser.
What a great tip. Thanks for sharing. Two wonderful recipes out of one!
