Instant Pot Pork Ribs made with tender ribs rubbed with seasoning and pressure cooked, then smothered in BBQ sauce and finished off under the broiler until lightly charred.
In a bowl, mix together spices. Evenly rub spices onto both sides of the ribs. Pour apple juice into the bottom of the instant pot, and place trivet into the pot.
Place the ribs into the instant pot, standing up on their side. Close and lock the lid and seal the steam valve. Set on high temperature for 35 minutes. When the time is up, allow the instant pot to naturally release.
Once the ribs are fully cooked, pull them out of the pot carefully and lay them on a baking sheet. Brush with BBQ sauce, and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly charred on the top. Brush with additional BBQ sauce before serving.

Reheat in the microwave or in an air fryer. Freeze leftover ribs for 2-3 months in an airtight container. Wrap the container in an extra layer of aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Cooking Tips
Save some extra sauce to serve with the ribs, just in case anyone wants more. I also like to put a layer of extra barbecue sauce on the ribs when they come out of the broiler.
You only want to broil the ribs for a couple of minutes. Watch them closely, so they get a little char but don't end up burned. Start with 2-3 minutes and see how they look.
