You will be amazed at how tender and fall off the bone delicious these Instant Pot Keto Ribs are. They are crazy simple to prepare and low-carb, so they are perfect for dinner or your next dinner party!

These beauties are steamed to perfection in an Instant Pot/pressure cooker, but can also be made in the oven if you prefer.

How to make Instant Pot Keto Ribs:
Place the steam rack in the bottom of your Instant Pot® inner pan, and pour in the water/stock.
Sprinkle both sides of the ribs with BBQ Rub.

Coil ribs into a circle and place vertically on top of the trivet/riser in the pan.

If using ribs from ButcherBox, they will be cut in half so they will not coil very well.
Secure the lid making sure the knob is in the “Sealing” position, and set Instant Pot to Manual, High Pressure for 25 minutes. {your Instant Pot will take 10 to 12 minutes to pressurize before it starts cooking}

When the timer beeps, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. Unlock the lid and remove ribs from the Instant Pot .

Place ribs on a foil lined baking sheet and coat with Keto Barbecue Sauce.

Place under the broiler for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce. Cut ribs in-between the bones and serve with additional sauce.

Don’t forget the napkins, you’re going to need them!
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Why didn’t you cook the Instant Pot Barbecue Ribs with the sauce? Because the steam would pretty much wash the sauce right off the ribs.
- Can I use a different brand of pressure cooker? Yes you can….I do not know exactly how each brand works so you may need to adjust cooking times if they seem off.
- I do not have a pressure cooker, but I still want to make ribs for dinner!! Follow the instructions in this post to bake your ribs in the oven.
