Super moist and tender pork ribs are first prepared in an instant pot and then brushed with a homemade chipotle tequila barbecue sauce. The ribs are then tossed on the grill until that delicious sauce becomes hot, sticky, and stuck to those gorgeous ribs by means of beautiful grill marks. Are you drooling yet?

Ingredients

2 racks pork ribs
1 cup vegetable stock
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Sauce:

1/2 cup tomato paste
4 tablespoons tequila
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons BBQ Spice Rub
chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Start by removing the membrane on the back of the ribs. Pat them dry with paper towels and lay them out onto a large cutting board or baking rack.
Sprinkle over the salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Next, ensure your trivet or steam rack is in your instant pot. Pour in the stock and vinegar.
Lay both racks into the instant pot in a standing, circular fashion. Basically, the racks will sit on their sides and form to the inside of the pot.
Close and seal the instant pot. Pressure cook on high for 23 minutes. Once done, allow the steam to release naturally for five minutes. Then, carefully open the valve to let the remaining pressure out.
While the ribs are cooking in the instant pot, prepare the sauce. It’s super easy to do! Measure the tomato paste, tequila, rice vinegar, and the BBQ spice rub into a bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
Preheat grill to 450 degrees F.
Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet or large platter. Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of the rib racks with the sauce. Be careful, because the ribs are already very tender. Try to keep the bone in the meat to make grilling easier.
Once the grill is hot, place each rack onto the grill, and allow it to cook undisturbed for 4 minutes. Carefully flip the ribs over using tongs and cook for 4 minutes more. Once you’re happy with the grill marks, get the ribs off the grill and serve immediately.

Notes

Serving size is equal to 4-5 ribs per person.
