How to Make It

Step 1

Pat the rack of ribs dry with a paper towel. Rub the ribs lightly with the oil. Add 2 tablespoons erythritol, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ¼ teaspoon cayenne, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt to a small bowl. Generously sprinkle the dry rub all over the ribs, ensuring every inch is well coated.

Step 2

Place the wire trivet in the bottom of the InstantPot or pressure cooker. Pour in 1 and a half cups water and 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Carefully stand the ribs on the trivet on their side, wrapping the rack of ribs rack around the inside of the pot.

Step 3

Cover the Instant Pot and set the valve to seal. Pressure cook on high for 23 minutes. For more than 2 racks of ribs, or if your ribs are very meaty, increase the timer to 25 minutes. Allow natural pressure to release for 10-15 minutes. You will know it is done when the pressure pin drops.

Step 4

Make the BBQ sauce as the ribs are cooking. Add 3 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 tablespoon water, 2 tablespoons erythritol, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon dry mustard, 2 cloves garlic(minced), 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Use a whisk to combine thoroughly.

Step 5

When the ribs are done, carefully transfer to a baking tray. Generously brush the ribs with the BBQ sauce.

Step 6

Place the ribs in the upper third of the oven and set it to broil. Broil for 6-8 minutes or until the sauce begins to sizzle and caramelize. Serve hot with a side of choice.
