For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the ribs in a dry rub (equal parts smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper) for at least 2 hours or overnight before pressure cooking. If you don't have an immersion blender, finely mince the garlic before adding it to the barbecue sauce. Serve with your favorite sides such as coleslaw, corn on the cob, or potato salad.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn an 8-quart multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot), pour apple cider to about ½ inch below the rack line. Stir in garlic powder, salt, paprika, and black pepper; place the rack into the Pot. Turn on the cooker and select the Steam function according to the manufacturer's instructions; heat cider completely. Place ribs on rack. Close and lock the lid. (5 minutes)
02
StepSelect High pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 27 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. (37-42 minutes)
03
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a roasting rack. (5 minutes)
04
StepPour about 2 cups barbecue sauce into a large measuring cup. Add garlic, brown sugar, and chili garlic sauce. Purée with an immersion blender until completely smooth. Stir into the remaining barbecue sauce in a large bowl; set aside until room temperature. (10 minutes)
05
StepRelease pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. (5 minutes)
