Preparing the Rib Tips

Before we dive into the cooking process, it's important to prepare the rib tips properly. Start by selecting high-quality, meaty rib tips from your local butcher or grocery store. Trim any excess fat and remove the membrane, as it can prevent the flavors from penetrating the meat.

Season the rib tips with your favorite BBQ rub, ensuring that each piece is evenly coated. Let the seasoned rib tips sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is crucial for achieving a well-seasoned and flavorful end result.

Cooking with the Instant Pot®

Now that your rib tips are properly seasoned, it's time to cook them in the Instant Pot®. Add a cup of water or broth to the pot, along with some liquid smoke for that authentic BBQ flavor. Place the rib tips on the trivet, making sure they are not submerged in the liquid.

Secure the lid of the Instant Pot® and set it to pressure cook on high for around 25-30 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10-15 minutes before manually releasing the remaining pressure. Carefully remove the lid, and you'll be greeted with tender and succulent BBQ rib tips.

Enhancing the Flavor

To take your BBQ rib tips to the next level, it's time to add some sauce. Brush your favorite BBQ sauce onto the rib tips, ensuring they are evenly coated. For an extra layer of flavor, you can also finish the rib tips on a hot grill or under the broiler for a few minutes until the sauce caramelizes.

Serve your Instant Pot® BBQ rib tips with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or potato salad. The possibilities are endless, and you can customize your meal to suit your taste preferences.
