Typically, BBQ Ribs used to take what seemed like all day (and a full tank of propane) to become tender and falling off the bone. That’s not the case if you have a pressure cooker. I recently bought an Instant Pot and have found tons of ways to make it useful in my kitchen. Don’t be discouraged by the shape of the pot and the ribs fitting properly. They simply twirl into a spiral and fit just right. All day ribs turn into quick grilled BBQ ribs.

Why I Enjoy Summer Grilling

No heating the kitchen! – Temps can jump quickly into the 90’s and 100’s here in Virginia. Along with high humidity, I look for ways to cook without heating the kitchen. The grill and the Instant Pot are perfect for keeping things cool inside.
Family Time – I love the dance my husband and I do as we prepare dinner for the grill. Something about removing the grill cover puts him in a giddy mood. I prep everything inside and then hang out with him, laughing and joking on the patio. It becomes a mini date. Plus, if the kids are hanging around, it’s a great opportunity to teach them about fire safety when near a grill.
Flavor – Nothing quite beats the flavor of BBQ sauce grilled into Quick Grilled BBQ Ribs. It’s something I can only create in the summertime. Smithfield Extra Tender Fresh Pork Ribs are perfect for your summer grilling. They’re enhanced to be as juicy and tender as possible so it produces a fanatastic dish, no matter what your level of expertise in the kitchen.

How to Make QUICK Grilled BBQ Ribs

Sticky, sweet, and delicious fall-off-the-bone, tender ribs in a flash!

Ingredients:

1 pkg Smithfield Extra Tender Fresh Pork St. Louis Style Spareribs
Salt & Pepper
17 oz BBQ Sauce (original or honey flavor)
1/2 c Honey
1-2 Tbsp Sriracha Sauce (depending on heat preference)

Directions:

Pour about 1 cup of water into your pressure cooker. I use the Instant Pot.
Place the metal grate in the bottom of cooker. Open Smithfield Extra Tender Fresh Pork Ribs and generously salt and pepper both sides. Lay one row of ribs on top of the other. Roll ribs into a coil and place on their side into the pressure cooker. Two ribs should fit comfortably. Secure the lid and do not allow to vent. Select the “Meat/Stew” option for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the BBQ sauce, honey, and sriracha sauce in a medium bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup for dipping.

Preheat the grill. Open the Instant Pot with the natural release option and then transfer the ribs to a platter, using tongs (Ribs will be very hot and heavy). Gently place ribs onto the hot grill and coat the top with prepared sauce. Flip immediately and coat the other side with sauce as well.
Let the ribs grill for about 5-8 minutes on each side, reapplying sauce liberally. Remove from heat and let ribs rest, tented with aluminum foil for at least 10 minutes. Serve with reserved BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
