Directions:
Prepare Baby Back Ribs:
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs with a butter knife and a paper towel.

Dry Rub Baby Back Ribs:
Mix all the dry rub ingredients and rub it all over the baby back ribs. Then, set aside while you prepare other ingredients.

Pressure Cook Baby Back Ribs:
Pour the homemade BBQ sauce into the pressure cooker.
Add 2 – 3 drops of liquid smoke into the BBQ sauce. Place the baby back ribs into the BBQ sauce

*Pro Tip: If your Instant Pot is very sensitive to the "Burn Error", layer the Ketchup & Dijon mustard on top of the Ribs instead of mixing it into the BBQ sauce.

Close lid and Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 16 – 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and Full Natural Release. Open the lid carefully.

*Pro Tip: Adjust your cooking time according to your preference: 16 minutes (tender with a bit of chew) to 25 minutes (fall off the bone).

Preheat Oven:
While the baby back ribs is cooking in the pressure cooker, preheat the oven to 450°F.

Set Aside Baby Back Ribs:
Carefully place the pressure cooked baby back ribs on a chopping board with kitchen tongs. Cover it with aluminum foil and set aside.

Filter the Fat (Optional Step): Filter the BBQ sauce with a strainer and remove the fat with an oil separator.

Reduce BBQ sauce: Place roughly chopped carrots into the BBQ sauce and bring your BBQ sauce to a simmer (Instant Pot: Press Sauté button once, then Adjust button to Saute Less Function).

Continue to reduce and thicken the BBQ sauce by simmering until desired thickness (~6 - 8 mins). Occasionally, stir with a wooden spoon. Taste the seasoning of the BBQ sauce. Stir in more brown sugar and additional 1 – 2 drops of liquid smoke if necessary.

Apply Sauce and Finish in Oven or Grill: Brush the homemade BBQ sauce all over the baby back ribs on all sides including the bones with a silicone basting brush. Place the baby back ribs in the oven on the top rack for 10 – 15 minutes.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve the baby back ribs immediately with more homemade BBQ sauce along with the carrots.
