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 🙂

      The flavor of this rub and sticky sauce was incredible! I am so used to BBQ ribs, and this was such a nice alternative. I am trying it on chicken wings today, and at some point will try on pork loin and chicken breasts or thighs! Leftover meat was also so delicious! Used it for quesadillas! This is a don’t miss recipe
