Step 1

Combine the garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, ground cumin, and black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 2

Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and rub the spice mixture generously over each section of the ribs, pressing the spices into the meat.

Step 3

Place the metal rack into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add the water or broth to the Instant Pot.

Step 4

Arrange the ribs on the rack, standing each section up on its end and leaning them against one another.

Step 5

Place the lid on the Instant Pot and lock it into place. Flip the valve to the ‘Sealing’ position.

Step 6

Select the high-pressure setting and set the cooking time to 30 minutes. It will take several minutes for the Instant Pot to build up pressure before the 30-minute timer starts.

Step 7

Once the cooking time is up, immediately release the pressure by flipping the valve to the ‘Venting’ position.

Step 8

Preheat the broiler to medium-high heat. Remove the ribs from the Instant Pot and place them on a rimmed baking sheet (line the baking sheet with foil for easy clean up).

Step 9

Brush the ribs with barbecue sauce on both sides.

Step 10

Broil for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and slightly caramelized.

Step 11

Cut into individual ribs for serving.
