This Instant Pot BBQ Ribs Recipe with homemade BBQ sauce will rock your world! The ribs come out juicy and full of flavor, and are nicely finished under the broiler.
Season the ribs liberally with salt and pepper on both sides of the rack.
Place trivet in the Instant Pot and ribs on top of the trivet in a circular fashion.
Add water, liquid smoke, the orange juices along with the leftover orange slices and rinds, into the Instant Pot.
Secure the lid and set on manual pressure at High for 25 minutes. Allow for natural release for an additional 15 minutes.
While the ribs are cooking, combine remaining ingredients into a small pot on the stove. Whisk and cook ingredients over medium-low heat for approximately 15 minutes. Flavors will come together, onions will cook through, and the sauce will become thicker. Remove from heat.
Upon removal of the ribs from the Instant Pot, place on a foil lined baking sheet and coat both sides of the ribs with the homemade BBQ sauce.
Broil in the oven on high for 2-3 minutes each side.
