These easy Instant Pot ribs are here to save the day whenever you are craving the low and slow taste of baby back ribs but are short on time.

Ingredients

1 cup water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 pounds pork baby back ribs, cut into serving-sized portions
2 tablespoons mesquite seasoning
3/4 cup barbecue sauce, divided

Directions

Combine water, vinegar and soy sauce in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Rub ribs with mesquite seasoning; add to pressure cooker. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 35 minutes. Let pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
Remove ribs to a foil-lined baking sheet. Preheat broiler. Brush ribs with half the barbecue sauce. Broil 4-6 in. from heat until glazed, 2-4 minutes. Brush with remaining barbecue sauce.

When we're missing the taste of grilled food during winter, these tangy ribs give us that same smoky barbecue flavor we love. They're so simple, and they're fall-off-the-bone delicious too! —Sue Evans, Marquette, Michigan
