\u2764\ufe0f Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/strong>: These ribs are incredibly meaty and tender. They\u2019re also faster than ever to cook with an Instant Pot, which infuses the meat with the savory and sweet sauce as they slowly cook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Update: This recipe initially came from a beloved reader, Carol. We still make these juicy ribs all year long. So I\u2019ve updated the post with new tips and photos to help you made delicious country-style barbecue at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Instant Pot Pork Ribs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Instant Pot Country Style Pork Ribs recipe<\/strong> will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using an Instant Pot cuts back on your cook time for these ribs by hours. And the result is every bit as juicy, tender and delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe, you\u2019ll want to buy country-style ribs, which are thicker and meatier than baby back ribs. Pressure cooking helps render off some of the excess fat and leaves fork-tender meat.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You make the sauce in the instant pot before you add the ribs. Then after pressure cooking, simply thicken things up with a quick slurry of cornstarch. The sauce will coat the ribs perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Use Frozen Ribs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you can put frozen ribs directly into the pressure cooker pot. If the ribs are separate, you don\u2019t need to change the cook time at all. For a large block of frozen ribs, add a few minutes to the pressure cooking time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With frozen meat, there\u2019s no need to brown it first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re using more meat to serve a bigger crowd, there\u2019s no need to increase the cooking time, as long as the ribs are all the same thickness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Use Store-Bought BBQ Sauce?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, if you want to skip the sauce making, you can use store-bought BBQ sauce for the ribs. However, most jarred sauces contain thickeners that will be too thick for pressure cooking and may burn. If you\u2019re using store-bought sauce, add \u00bd cup of water or pineapple juice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bone-In vs. Boneless Ribs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can use either bone-in or boneless pork ribs for this recipe. The cook time will not change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulled Pork Ribs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to turn your ribs into pulled pork, you can certainly shred the meat after pressure cooking. If you\u2019re having trouble shredding, cook the meat for another 5 minutes at high pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Serve with Country-Style Barbecue Ribs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The sweet and tangy pineapple sauce on these ribs always makes me think of other tropical flavors like coconut and lime. I like to serve the ribs with Instant Pot Coconut Rice<\/a> and Broccoli Slaw from Barbara Bakes<\/a>. For dessert? How about Instant Pot Key Lime Pie<\/a> (make it the day before). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
