Many readers have loved our Pork Back Ribs (Baby Back Ribs) & Pork Spare Ribs Recipes, but have long been asking us for the best way to cooking Country Style Ribs in Instant Pot.

How long to cook country style ribs in instant pot so they come out juicy, tender, flavorful, but NOT dry, mushy, or tasteless?

Here we go with our fun Instant Pot Country Style Ribs experiments! 😀

What are Country Style Ribs?

Country style ribs are pork rib chops from the shoulder end of the loin. They are meatier and cheaper than baby back ribs – perfect for meat lovers. 😉

Sometimes, the cut of country style ribs you buy can have more meat from the loin, while other times you might end up with more meat from the blade (more fat). So cooking country style ribs can be a bit tricky – it’s important not to overcook them!

*Pro Tip: As always, try your best to find country style ribs that have nice marbling.

Check out how juicy & tender our Country Style Ribs came out!

Instructions 

  • Make Ribs Marinade: Add 1 tsp (2.8g) garlic powder, 1 tsp (2.4g) onion powder, and 2 tbsp (30ml) regular soy sauce in Instant Pot's inner pot. Add in ½ cup (125ml) apple cider vinegar and ¾ cup (188ml) cold water, then mix thoroughly.
  • Marinate Ribs: Place 3.5 to 4 lbs country style ribs into the apple cider vinegar marinade. Add ¼ tsp (2g) coarse kosher salt, ground black pepper, and 2 tbsp (25g) brown sugar or honey on top of the country style ribs. Marinate ribs for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the fridge.
    Amy + Jacky's Tip: The apple cider vinegar helps tenderize the ribs. So, don’t marinate it for too long, or the ribs can come out a bit mushy.
  • Pressure Cook Country Style Ribs: Place marinated ribs with the marinade in Instant Pot. Close lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 15 minutes, then Natural Release for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the Venting Knob to Venting Position to release the remaining pressure. Open the lid carefully.
  • Apply BBQ Sauce & Broil Ribs: Set the country style ribs on an oven tray, then generously apply ½ cup - 1 cup BBQ sauce all over the ribs.
    *Note: You can use an oven, Air Fryer Lid, or Instant Pot Duo Crisp's "Air Fry" function for this broiling step.
    Option 1 - Oven/Toaster Oven: Place the ribs on an oven tray under the "Broil" function (or the highest temperature setting) for a few minutes until the BBQ sauce is caramelized.
    Option 2 - Air Fryer Lid: Remove the apple vinegar liquid, then add 1 cup of cold water in the inner pot. Place the airfryer basket with the tray on the middle rack in Instant Pot. Layer the ribs on the airfryer tray, then place the air fryer lid on Instant Pot. Press "Air Fry" button, set temperature to 400°F and cooking time to 12 minutes. *Pro Tip: It will take roughly 8 - 11 minutes + preheat time. You can open the lid to check the progress.
  • Serve: Serve the tender juicy bbq country style ribs immediately! They are great with potato salad or baked beans on the side. Enjoy~
