Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb beef short ribs
  • Dry Rub (you can buy or make your own)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup bbq sauce

Instructions

  1. Rub the ribs with dry rub (I used 2 tsp). Place on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Place the trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Pour one cup of water in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place ribs on top of trivet.
  3. Cover and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Press manual/pressure cook button and set the timer for 28 minutes. After the timer beeps, let the pressure come down naturally for 10-15 minutes. Open the pot and place ribs on a cookie sheet.
  4. Baste the ribs with bbq sauce and put under the broiler for 3 minutes.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If you’d like to make this recipe in the slow cooker, place dry rubbed ribs in slow cooker and pour bbq sauce over the top. Slow cook for 6-8 hours.

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot.
