Ingredients

  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 cups apple juice
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp  liquid smoke
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2  racks baby back pork ribs

Instructions

  • Combine juice, vinegar, and liquid smoke in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot(R)). Add bay leaves.
  • Combine black pepper, garlic powder and chili powder. Rub this spice mixture into ribs.
  • Add a trivet to the pot and place ribs on top, trimming as needed to fit. Close and lock the lid; set valve to sealing. Choose high pressure and set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Cook on manual for 15 minutes on high pressure if you want ribs to still have a slight pull when biting and be able to brown them on the grill or broil the rack without meat falling off the bone. You can do 25 minutes for extra-tender, almost fall-off-the-bone ribs.
