Ribs Revisited - Again
Again with the new birthday toy: I wanted to see if I could replicate the ribs of yore but with the new Instant Pot - especially since it will fit two racks of ribs (really three).
Not gonna lie - I'm tweaking a couple things here to FIX. They were almost TOO tender. I know. I know - is that possible? I kind of like to grab the bone and gnaw the meat off of it. . . With these, the bones LITERALLY fell out of the meat. I had to knife and fork the meat. Soooooo, I'm tweaking a couple things I did and not telling you what I'm tweaking. It WAS faster AND easier. I DO prefer the low and slow spray method. But let's say I don't want to babysit and spray for SIX HOURS! The apple juice and apple cider vinegar steam is what infuses and tenderizes in the Instant Pot. So, it's good to know I have options. . .
Some things didn't change from the old recipe: mustard, Butt Rub, 24 hours, apple juice and apple cider vinegar.
BUTT, then I adhered to some Instant Pot directions.
2 T yellow mustard (nothing fancy)
2 T Butt Rub
1 1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Lots of Kerry Gold butter
2 racks of baby back ribs
~ Remove membrane from ribs and pat dry.
~ Rub yellow mustard all over meat then rub Butt Rub into meat.
~ Wrap ribs in cling wrap and refrigerate overnight.
~ Pour apple juice and apple cider vinegar into Instant Pot.
~ Coil the ribs into the pot. Close and set for 23 minutes.
~ Natural release for five minutes - JUST FIVE!
~ Remove ribs and put on foil lined sheet pan.
~ Lay butter over ribs and cover till ready to broil or grill.
~ Cover with sauce of choice and broil or grill till sauce begins to char. (Gosh, is this good with corn pudding!)
