Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) pork riblets
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Liquids and Oils:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) chicken broth
Instructions
- Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a small mixing bowl to create a fragrant spice blend.
- Thoroughly coat each pork riblet with the prepared spice mixture, ensuring even coverage and maximum flavor absorption.
- Preheat the Instant Pot and add extra virgin olive oil, activating the sauté function to create a high-heat cooking environment.
- Carefully place seasoned pork riblets into the hot Instant Pot, searing each side for 2-3 minutes until a golden-brown crust develops, which will enhance the meat’s flavor profile.
- Pour low-sodium chicken broth (473 milliliters / 16 fluid ounces) into the Instant Pot, creating a flavorful cooking liquid around the riblets.
- Securely lock the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the valve is set to the sealing position for proper pressure cooking.
- Program the Instant Pot to high pressure and set the cooking timer for 20 minutes, allowing the riblets to become tender and infused with the spice blend.
- Once the cooking cycle completes, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10-12 minutes, which helps maintain the meat’s moisture and tenderness.
- Carefully remove the riblets from the Instant Pot, letting them rest for 3-5 minutes to redistribute internal juices before serving.
Notes
- Quick pressure cooking transforms tough pork into melt-in-your-mouth riblets without hours of kitchen time.
