Instant Pot Ginger-Lime Baby Back Ribs

Step 1

Place a trivet with handles in the Instant Pot. Add the broth and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs. Cut the ribs into 4 sections. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, ginger, garlic, pink salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the ribs. Arrange the ribs on the trivet.

Step 2

Secure the lid on the pot and close the pressure-release valve. Set the pot to HIGH pressure for 25 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, use a natural release to depressurize.

Step 3

Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the coconut aminos, butter, sesame oil, lime zest, and remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice. Cook the sauce over medium-low heat just until the butter melts, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Adjust an oven rack to 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the broiler. Line a large baking sheet with foil.

Step 5

Open the Instant Pot and transfer the ribs, meaty-side down, to the prepared baking sheet (discard the cooking liquid from the pot). Brush the ribs with some of the sauce. Broil until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the ribs over. Brush with more sauce. Broil until browned and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes more.

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss together all ingredients for the slaw.

Step 7

To serve, brush the ribs with any remaining sauce and sprinkle with the green onion and sesame seeds. Serve with slaw.
