Instant Pot Beef Back Ribs with a dry rub and made in the Instant Pot using apple cider vinegar as the liquid. This summertime favorite is easy from start to finish and delicious.
These ribs are finished in the oven for a crispy texture and coated with your favorite BBQ sauce.

Preparing the Ribs
To prepare the ribs, you will need to remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. It is easy to do this by finding the thickest part of the membrane and peeling it away from the ribs.
Using a paper towel to grip the membrane makes it a little easier to keep ahold of. After removing the membrane, rub the dry ingredients over the ribs and cover to refrigerate for at least an hour. This gives the ribs a chance to absorb the spices.
The longer the ribs sit with the seasonings the more flavorful they will be! After cooking the ribs in the Instant Pot, remove them and lay them on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Baste the desired amount of BBQ sauce of your choice on the ribs and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

Instant Pot Ribs
One thing I love about my Instant Pot is its ability to make meat super tender and fall off the bone in very little time. These ribs are pressure cooked for just 25 minutes and they're so tender!
To make these ribs crispy, they do require oven time to reach the much-desired crispiness when eating ribs. I use apple cider vinegar as the liquid for the ribs versus water for a very good reason – water tends to make meat bland when pressure cooking.
By adding the apple cider vinegar, the flavors infuse into the meat instead of taking flavors away. In fact, I rarely use water as the liquid of choice in most of my recipes!
This Instant Pot Beef Back Ribs recipe does use apple cider vinegar as the liquid of choice.
If you're not a fan of a strong vinegar flavor, swap out some of the apple cider vinegar for beef broth, water, or even alcohol. You want to make sure you have one cup of liquid for the pot to come to pressure. You can choose your combination of liquids for this step.

Make More Ribs
Have more than 1 rack of ribs to make? No problem! You can fit more than one rack of ribs in the Instant Pot and you don't even have to adjust the cooking time!!
Of course, you will want to double the ingredients to make 2 racks at once to maximize the flavor but no additional steps! You don't need to double the liquid in the pot however, that will stay the same! So double all the ingredients except for the liquids that create the pressure in the Instant Pot.

Notes
After feedback, the option for reducing the vinegar flavor by subbing water for part of the apple cider vinegar has been added to the ingredient list.
A natural release is very important when pressure cooking meats. If your ribs are more thick than usual, please are an additional 3-5 minutes pressure cooking time.
