Instant Pot Ribs

In a small bowl, make BBQ rub by combining brown sugar, salt, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, and celery seeds.

Place steamer rack in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Add broth, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke to the Instant Pot.

For the best results, remove the thin translucent membrane from the back side of the ribs. Use a knife or fork to carefully loosen it on one end, and then grip it with a paper towel and just peel it right off. This step guarantees the ribs will be fall-apart tender.

Rub or brush meat with mustard (I usually use my hands; it's messy but effective). When meat is coated with mustard, sprinkle with BBQ rub and lightly rub the seasoning in so it adheres to the meat.

Place meat in the Instant Pot, curling it around the sides of the pot, meat side out (see photo in post). Secure lid and turn valve to seal, if necessary. Set on Pressure Cook (or Manual, high pressure) for 30 minutes.

After cooking time has elapsed, let pressure release naturally for 15 minutes (just set a timer and leave it alone for 15 minutes).

Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil and preheat broiler to high. After 15 minutes has elapsed, release any remaining pressure. Remove the lid and carefully remove ribs, placing them on prepared baking sheet, meat side up. Brush with BBQ sauce and broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until bubbling and caramelized, watching carefully so the sauce doesn't scorch.
