Instant Pot Country Style Ribs – These Instant Pot Country Style Ribs are so tender and flavorful! They start with a simple dry rub, are smothered in bbq sauce, and cooked up in your Instant Pot pressure cooker for a delicious and easy meal!
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!

We have a family of 8. Can I double the recipe, and if so do no need to increase cooking time?
Had to change our dinner plans last minute. I had some country ribs in the freeze, so instant pot to the rescue. Except I had to make some changes. I didn’t have any broth, so instead I used water and some liquid smoke. I was also a tad short on bbq, so instead I spritzed on some Worcestershire sauce, then cooked as directed and used the bbq on the side. They came out amazing and my kids gobbled them up. Only thing I recommend doing different is maybe double the rub and let it sit for a few hours before cooking. Looking forward to trying this recipe again as written.
Did you cook theses from frozen?
Could I do this without the bbq sauce and everything else stay the same?
Hey, sorry I’m not sure, I haven’t tried it that way! If you do, let us know how it goes 🙂
Yes…I dont use bbq sauce when I make mine. I follow her recipe except for that and then add the sauce when done and put in oven for a few minutes at high heat. I do add a little liquid smoke in instapot though for the flavor that might be missing bc I dont cook in sauce.
One more thing I accidentally did pressure cook and went to more at 45 mins but then after it started cooking after 5min I realized the video pushed meat button and it’s on normal now it it ok if I did that
Can this be made in the 6qt instant pot
Yes 🙂

I can’t wait to try this
I just purchased an instant pot and this was my first recipe I tried today and it was delicious. It very hot and humid here today so I didn’t feel like cooking on the grill or out the oven on. I picked up a package of ribs on sale for $3.77 and so glad I did. Thanks for sharing ?
Thanks so much for this fabulous recipe. The only thing I did differently was to brown the ribs first on both sides for about 2 minutes per side. I still cooked them for 45 minutes in the Instant Pot. OMG, so delicious! Major kudos to you.
Could I use beer in place of the beef broth?
I think that would work fine 🙂
Randomly bought this cut of meat and then panicked because I have no idea how to prepare them!! Found this recipe and they were soooooo good. Perfectly tender!! Thanks for sharing!!
Forgot to mention how easy it was to make, and how the species were stuff I already had…so flavorful!
