Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Instant Pot: Pour water and apple cider vinegar into the Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Season the Rib Tips: In a large bowl, combine rib tips with BBQ rub and kosher salt. Massage the seasoning into the meat to ensure even coating. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Pressure Cook: Arrange the seasoned rib tips on top of the trivet in the Instant Pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure and set the timer for 40 minutes. Allow approximately 8 minutes for the pressure to build.

04

Step

Natural Pressure Release: Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes. This helps the rib tips retain their moisture and tenderness.

05

Step

Basting: Once the pressure is fully released, carefully unlock and remove the lid. Transfer the rib tips to a baking dish and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Then, pour barbecue sauce over the rib tips and stir to coat evenly.

06

Step

Grill (Optional): Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill the rib tips for about 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are beautifully caramelized and slightly charred. (6 minutes)

For a smokier flavor, add a teaspoon of liquid smoke to the Instant Pot along with the water and vinegar.
Adjust the amount of BBQ rub to your taste preference. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little extra heat.
If you don't have a grill, you can broil the rib tips in the oven for a similar effect. Place them on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes per side, or until nicely caramelized.
The natural pressure release is crucial for achieving the most tender results. Avoid quick-releasing the pressure, as this can cause the rib tips to become tough.
