Instant Pot® Ribs from Frozen

by

Description

These ribs start from a frozen state, so dinner can be made without planning ahead. Each rib portion should have 3 to 4 ribs. I use a spice called “Red Rocks Hickory Smoke Seasoning” from Savory Spice Shop®, but you may use what you have. With only 3 ingredients, it doesn’t get much easier!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons hickory smoke seasoning (such as Savory Spice® Red Rocks)
  • 1 rack frozen baby back ribs, membrane removed and cut into 4 slabs
  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

  1. Pour water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Set the trivet inside.
  2. Sprinkle hickory smoke seasoning liberally over frozen ribs; set ribs on top of the trivet. Close and lock the lid.
  3. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set the timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  4. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions
  5. about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  6. Preheat the oven broiler. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  7. Transfer ribs to a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with barbecue sauce. Broil until glazed
  8. 4 to 5 minutes.
