Instant Pot Baby Back Ribs with Green Cabbage Slaw

Ingredients

• 1 rack baby back ribs (about 2½ lb), membrane removed
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 cup apple juice
• ¾ cup barbecue sauce
• 3 cups Green Cabbage, shredded
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp cider vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar

Method

1. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and massage it into both sides of the ribs.
2. Curl the rack around the inside of the Instant Pot, pour in the apple juice, and cook on high pressure 25 minutes with a 10-minute natural release.
3. Meanwhile, toss the Green Cabbage with mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt; chill until serving.
4. Transfer the ribs carefully to a foil-lined sheet — they will already be threatening to fall apart — and lacquer with barbecue sauce.
5. Broil 4–5 minutes until the sauce bubbles and chars at the edges. Slice between the bones and serve with the cold, crunchy slaw.
