This Instant Pot country-style ribs recipe turns a tough cut of meat into tender bites in less than an hour. The boneless pork ribs become super flavorful from a dry rub and a bold, barbecue-style braising liquid.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless country-style pork ribs, cut into 2-inch chunks
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 cup water
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/8 teaspoon celery seed

Directions

Sprinkle ribs with onion salt, pepper and paprika. Select saute setting on a 3- or 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat; add oil. When oil is hot, brown meat on all sides; remove from pressure cooker. Add water to pressure cooker. Cook 30 seconds, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Press cancel. Whisk in remaining ingredients. Return ribs to pressure cooker.
Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 20 minutes. Let pressure release naturally. If desired, skim fat and thicken cooking juices.
