Ingredients
  • Instant Pot
  • 2 slabs of ribs
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce, divided
Instructions
  1. On a foil wrapped baking sheet, cut your rib slabs into pieces and cover generously with chili powder.
  2. Salt and pepper lightly to taste.
  3. Next, add the water to the base of the Instant Pot.
  4. Add your ribs to the Instant Pot and pour ½ cup BBQ sauce over top of them.
  5. Lock the lid, and make sure the vent is sealed.
  6. Press the Manual button and increase cooking time to 30 minutes.
  7. After the Instant Pot is done cooking, release the steam valve and let all the steam out.
  8. Unlock the Instant Pot and take your ribs out carefully (things are very hot!)
  9. If you like, you can place the ribs on a hot grill (400 degrees), adding the additional BBQ sauce over top the ribs, and cook for an additional 5 minutes per side to crisp them up.
  10. *You can thicken the remaining sauce in the Instant Pot by keeping the lid off and pressing the Saute button. I occasionally stir the mixture and in about 20-30 minutes the sauce is thick and ready to use on your ribs!
