Instant Pot Pork Ribs

Cooking ribs in an instant pot is a great way to create tender, fall-off-the-bone meat without waiting all day for a crockpot or spending several hours tending to a smoker. Finishing the ribs under the broiler will help create that signature crispy outer texture that seals in the meat's flavor.

Here's how to make your instant pot pork ribs your own.

Marinades And Rubs

Mixing up the marinades or rubs you use on your pork ribs will have a big impact on the overall flavor. Instead of the classic barbecue rub, try some of these marinades:

Asian Marinade

• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Honey Garlic Marinade

• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 cup apple juice

If you prefer a rub instead of a marinade, this Jamaican jerk rub will bring out a whole new world of flavor. It's just the right mix of spiciness and heat.

Jamaican Jerk Rub

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons allspice
• 2 tablespoons ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon ground thyme
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
