This frozen ribs Instant Pot dinner can be made without planning. Each rib portion should have 3 to 4 ribs. I use a spice called Red Rocks Hickory Smoke Seasoning from Savory Spice Shop, but you may use what you have. With only 3 ingredients, it doesn't get much easier!
Ingredients
- water: 0.5 cup
- hickory smoke seasoning (such as Savory Spice® Red Rocks): 3 Tbsp
- rack frozen baby back ribs, membrane removed and cut into 4 slabs: 1 piece
- barbecue sauce: 0.25 cup
