Barbecue beef ribs are always a fun (and messy) dinner option! With this Instant Pot beef rib recipe, you can have fall off the bone ribs in half the time.
Place ½ cup of water and ½ cup of apple cider vinegar into the bottom of your instant pot.
For a rack of beef ribs, slice them down into 2 or 3 ribs in width so that they can stack and fit into the Instant Pot.
Flip the ribs over so that you're looking at the backside. With a sharp paring knife, slice "score marks" down the back. Cut that silverskin on the rib bone and in between each rib as well. This is an easy trick to get a perfect "fall off the bone" end result- you know we want that!
Combine all of the dry rub mix ingredients.
Smother your beef ribs in the rub mix, you will not need it all.
Stack the beef ribs so that they go opposite directions, on your trivet. Lower them into the Instant Pot.
Close the lid, and set it to High Pressure for 22 minutes. Do a natural pressure release for 10 minutes before releasing the rest.
Serve now or go one step further for Instant Pot BBQ Beef Ribs.

Place your ribs on the baking sheet.
Brush your homemade BBQ sauce over the tops (and bottoms) of the beef ribs.
High Broil for 5 minutes, until caramelized and looking delicious.

Notes
Trim and slice through the silverskin on the back of the ribs for easier meat removal.Silverskin tightens during cooking, so it's best to address it.Use a sharp paring knife to slice through the membrane, allowing it to peel away as the ribs cook.Identify silverskin by looking at the white or silvery layer on the bones or in the meat.Cook ribs in the Instant Pot to at least 200°F for tenderness, with an optimal range of 205-210°F.
