How to make Ninja Foodi beef short ribs

This recipe i so easy and doesn't really require step by step pictures. I still made some to show you the process in detail.

Open the package and take out ribs. I usually rinse any meat with cold running water to make sure its clean and ready to be used. Place clean beef ribs in Ninja Foodi. Optionally brown them in a little amount of oil. I skipped that step.

raw meat in the ninja foodi or instant pot

Add dr.Pepper to your ribs. Add salt and pepper. Close and lock the lid. Cook on high pressure for 50 minutes. This time will be enough for the meat to get very tender but still attached to the bone.

Quick release the pressure and carefully open the lid. Drain most of the liquid and change lids. Now we are going to brush beef ribs with BBQ sauce. Add as much sauce as you like.

Broil using AIRCRISP lid for about 5 minutes. The time depend on how browned you want your ribs to be. Either way it will be delicious!

Other pressure cooker beef ribs directions

Ninja Foodi is a pressure cooker so if you have Instant pot or any other brand, you can totally make it there. Follow the same exact directions except the last step. Other pressure cookers don't usually have a CRISPLID so you will need to finish beef back ribs in the oven broiler.

How do i know if my pressure cooker ribs are done

Ribs are done when they reach internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. It important to stick the thermometer into the thickest part of actual meat without touching the bone. Bone will always have a higher temperature and will make your testing inaccurate.
