Ingredients

  • 5 lbs pork country-style ribs
  • 2 TB dry rub
  • 1 teaspoon oil olive or other
  • ¾ cup water or broth

Instructions

  • Sprinkle all surfaces of the strips of meat with the seasoning. Cover and let marinate for 30-60 minutes.
  • Start the Instant Pot with the sauté function. Add the oil, then the meat. Sear the meat for at least 2 minutes for each side or edge. Remove seared pieces from the pot.
  • Turn off the sauté function and add the liquid. Then add all the pork pieces back to the pot.
  • Cover and seal the Instant Pot and turn on the Meat/Stew setting (18 minutes).
  • Once the cooking cycle is done, allow the Pot to vent naturally before opening. (20-30 minutes)
  • Shred meat with two forks and serve.

Notes

With the time to pressurize and vent, total time needed is a little more than an hour. You can also let the Instant Pot sit even longer on the "keep warm" setting until you are ready to shred and serve.
You can easily scale this recipe down for a weeknight dinner with fewer leftovers. Just use the amount of seasoning appropriate for the amount of pork you have. The cooking times remain the same.
