Instant Pot Rib Tips Food

INSTANT POT RIBS

Steps:

• Rinse the ribs and pat them dry. If your ribs still have the thin, shiny membrane on the back, remove it. (This is easy, don't worry!) Flip the ribs over, meat-side down. Wiggle a dull knife (such as a butter knife) between the membrane and the ribs to loosen it. With a paper towel, grip the membrane and pull it away, then discard.
• In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Rub it all over the ribs, generously coating all of the sides.
• Place the trivet (or rack) in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Pour in the water, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke. Place the ribs inside the pot, standing them on the trivet on their side and wrapping the rack around the inside of the pot like a circle.
• Cover and seal the Instant Pot. For baby back ribs: Cook on high (manual) pressure for 23 minutes (if you are making multiple racks and your ribs are super meaty, increase to 25 minutes). Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then vent to release the remaining pressure. For spare ribs: Cook on high for 35 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release completely (about 15 minutes). You will know it is released when the pin drops.
• Towards the end of the ribs' cook time, place a rack in the upper third of your oven and set it to broil. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Transfer the cooked ribs to the foil, then brush liberally with barbecue sauce. Place under the broiler just until the sauce begins to caramelized, about 2 minutes. Do not walk away to make sure the ribs don't burn.

INSTANT POT RIBS WITH DR PEPPER BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• For the spice rub: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dry mustard, salt, black pepper and cayenne.
• For the ribs: Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs. Rub the spice mixture all over. Set aside for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours (in the refrigerator).
• Add the Dr Pepper to the Instant Pot and place the trivet (that came with the Instant Pot) over top. Arrange the ribs on the trivet in concentric circles with the meaty side facing out.
• Cover the Instant Pot and seal to close. Select HIGH PRESSURE and set the timer for 25 minutes. When the timer is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then manually release. Remove the ribs and transfer to a sheet tray, meat-side-up, to let cool slightly.
• Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE. Cook the liquid to reduce by one-half, about 15 minutes. Add the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce and black pepper, and whisk well to combine. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, whisking frequently, until thickened like BBQ sauce.
• Heat a broiler to high heat. Brush the tops with the BBQ sauce sauce and broil for 4 minutes to slightly caramelize. Brush all over with more sauce and serve immediately.

INSTANT POT RACK O' RIBS SANDWICH

Steps:

• Whisk together the chile powder, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a small bowl until completely combined and no lumps remain. Spread the mixture evenly over the ribs, pressing it into the flesh on all sides. Let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour or wrap tightly with plastic wrap and let sit, refrigerated, for up to 48 hours.
• When ready to cook the ribs, add the apple cider to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Set the rack in the bottom of the pot and stand the ribs up on the rack so the bones are pointing up and down, coiling both rib racks around the perimeter of the pot.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 35 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 15 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Let the ribs sit, uncovered, to cool slightly, about 10 minutes (if you try and move the ribs while they are hot, they will fall apart). Transfer the ribs to a rack set inside a baking sheet and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes more.
• When cool enough to handle, remove the bones; they will be loose enough to pull out of the rack with little or no resistance. Using small tongs, pliers or your fingers, pinch each bone on the larger, exposed end and jostle to loosen, then pull straight back to remove. You may have to hold the meat in place when you pull the bones. Discard the bones. Tent the ribs with foil and set aside until ready to sauce.
• Meanwhile, remove the rack and set the pot to high saute. Add the barbecue sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire and remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is reduced and thickened, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Position an oven rack in the highest position in the oven and set to broil on high.
• Generously brush the ribs with the sauce and broil until the sauce is bubbling and browning in spots, 1 to 4 minutes, depending on your broiler. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.
• Combine the butter and garlic in a small bowl and brush liberally over the entire surface of both loaves of bread, crust and cut sides. Toast the bread on a baking sheet under the broiler, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Place one rack of ribs on the bottom half of each loaf meaty-side up. Drizzle with the remaining sauce and top with the pickles, onions and the top half of the loaf. Cut into 3-inch sandwiches and serve with chips.

FALL-OFF-THE-BONE 30-MINUTE INSTANT POT® RIBS

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar, chili powder, parsley, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, onion powder, and paprika in a bowl using a fork, breaking up any large clumps. Rub spice mixture over both sides of the ribs.
• Place a steam rack inside a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour water and cider vinegar into the bottom of the pot. Lower ribs into the pot by curving them around the edge. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place ribs on the foil. Top with barbeque sauce.
• Broil ribs until sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes.

REVERSE-SEARED INSTANT POT PRIME RIB AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Make 4 evenly spaced small slits about 1/2 inch deep on the top of the roast with a small paring knife. Put a few rosemary leaves on top of each slit and push them in using a piece of garlic. Repeat on the other side of the roast. Make two slits on the ends of the roast and stuff with the remaining rosemary and garlic.
• Combine 5 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a small bowl and stir to combine. Sprinkle all over the roast, firmly pressing the mixture onto the exterior and stuffing some into the slits.
• Place the trivet in the bottom of the insert of a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Pour in the beef broth and 1/4 cup of the wine. Place the roast on the trivet, fat-side up, then set it to pressure cook on low for 10 minutes with the keep warm feature turned on (see Cook's Note). Once the pressure cook cycle ends let the pot stand, closed, for 45 minutes. Open the lid and transfer the roast to a plate. Remove the trivet and pour the broth into a heatproof container. Rinse the insert and return it to the machine.
• Set the machine to sauté and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and foamy add the roast and sear until dark brown on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers 120 degrees F for medium rare, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, immediately add the remaining 1/4 cup wine to the insert, scraping up the browned bits that are stuck to the bottom. Continue to cook until almost all the wine has evaporated then sprinkle in the flour. Stir until a uniform paste forms then whisk in the reserved broth. Bring to a boil and simmer until the flavor of the flour has cooked out, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning, if needed, and whisk in a bit more beef broth if the gravy becomes too thick. Strain through a mesh strainer into a gravy boat and stir in the herbs right before serving. Serve alongside the roast.

INSTANT POT PRIME RIB

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, herbs and spices until fully incorporated. Then, spread the butter mixture evenly over all sides of the meat.
• Pour the beef stock at the bottom of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot, and then place the trivet into the pot and place your roast on top. Lock on the lid, making sure the valve is set to seal. Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes, and after time is up, keep on warm for 30 minutes. If you're looking for medium-rare meat that is mostly pink with a red center, aim for a temperature of around 135 degrees F.
• Once the roast is at your desired temperature, carefully open the Instant Pot and transfer the roast to a small baking sheet, allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
• While the roast rests, remove the trivet from the Instant Pot and press the sauté button. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water. Bring the sauce to a simmer and stir in cornstarch mixture. Cook until the sauce has thickened. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning accordingly, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
• Serve the roast sliced with the sauce spooned over.
• Note: If you want to develop a golden brown crust on the roast, you can place it under the broiler, turning it on all its sides until fully browned all over.
