Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back ribs about 4 1/2 pounds
- ½ cup Dry Rub for Ribs
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 cup barbecue sauce plus more for serving
Instructions
- If butcher hasn't already done it, remove silver skin membrane from backs of rib racks.
- Rub ribs all over with dry rub. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes.

- Curl rib racks into half circles (meat side out) and place them standing upright on trivet.
- Seal lid and select Pressure Cook or Manual Setting and set cooking time for 25 minutes at HIGH pressure (pot will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure before cooking time begins).
- When cooking time ends, let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then move Pressure Release to Venting to release remaining steam.
- Just before Instant Pot cooking time is up, preheat either grill or broiler, if desired, to lightly char ribs and give them some crusty bits. Remove ribs from Instant Pot and brush with barbecue sauce, then proceed with directions below.
- If GRILLING: Preheat grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Transfer ribs to grill and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly charred in spots, turning once.
- If BROILING: Preheat broiler to HIGH. Place ribs under broiler and broil 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly charred, watching carefully.
- To SERVE: Cut ribs and serve immediately, with additional barbecue sauce for dipping.
