BBQ Keto Ribs made in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker
I just made the most amazing Keto Ribs in my Instant Pot! Guys, once you try this recipe, I promise you will want to make them like these all the time! It’s super easy but loaded with flavor. I almost feel as though this is a super fast hack to the 3 2 1 Ribs Method. Have you heard of that method before? Basically, you smoke the ribs for 3 hours, then wrap the ribs in liquid for 2 hours, and finally, place the ribs in a sauce for the last hour. That’s the 3 2 1 Ribs Method simplified. It’s a wonderful rib cooking method but takes tons of time to do. They do come out super delicious but when I need easy, I will make these BBQ Keto Ribs made in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker!
Another thing to note in this keto ribs recipe is the flavor! These keto ribs have a wonderful intense savory flavor! Sometimes when you cook ribs in a pressure cooker, the liquids can easily steam off the seasonings. We nailed this recipe technique to keep these fibs full of flavor!
Keto Ribs Recipe Ingredients
- 3 pounds of ribs, sliced
- 1 tablespoon of dried crushed rosemary
- 3 tablespoons of lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ lemon, sliced
- 1 cup of water
Keto BBQ Sauce Recipe Ingredients:
- ¼ cup of sugar substitute (I really like this Keto sugar substitute found on Amazon)
- ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup of water
- 1 rosemary sprig
- zest of half a lemon
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 4oz of tomato paste (1 small can)
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of mustard
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
Keto Ribs Recipe Instructions:
- In a large bowl, season ribs with rosemary and lemon pepper seasoning. Add ribs to an insert basket into the Instant Pot, and a cup of water. Top ribs with sliced lemons. Add lid and put to sealing. On high pressure, cook ribs for 32 minutes, then natural release.
- To make the Keto BBQ sauce: In a small pan over medium-high heat, add in Keto sugar substitute, apple cider vinegar, water, rosemary sprig, and lemon zest. Bring to a gentle boil and allow to cook for 10 minutes. Next, add in the remaining ingredients and whisk together. Cook on low for 5 minutes, so all of the flavors can infuse together. Discard rosemary.
- Once ribs are cooked, place in a foil lined baking pan. Brush ribs generously with BBQ sauce and place in oven under the broiler for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy.
I use a 6 quart Instant Pot. It’s the perfect size for my family of four.
