When it comes to ribs, it’s all about the sauce and tenderness of the ribs. We know that ribs should be cooked long and slow, but on a weeknight who has the time? In this instant pot recipe, the ribs are steamed in a delicious broth which keeps them super moist then coated with the best gluten-free sticky sauce and broiled to perfection. Total cooking time only 40 minutes and the ribs are so tender, they fall off the bones. When it comes to sticky ribs, there is nothing better than to serve them with rice and some veggies. Enjoy! Check out our online store for the latest gluten-free products and more 🙂
