Instant Pot Country Ribs with Sweet & Spicy Red Curry Sauce | The Foodie Eats

These Instant Pot country ribs are well-balanced - sweet, spicy, and savory! Serve them with something to soak up the juice, like herbed rice.

Instant Pot Country Ribs with Sweet & Spicy Red Curry Sauce | The Foodie Eats

Country ribs and red curry sauce may seem like an unusual combination. But, once you try this Instant Pot country ribs recipe, you'll swear they were made to go together. The flavor of this dish is perfectly balanced - slightly sweet, subtly spicy, and savory!  I like to serve them over herbed rice drizzled with the sauce.

What are country ribs?

Country ribs aren't actually ribs at all. They're boneless pieces of pork that come from the blade end of the loin close to the shoulder. They're similar in flavor and texture to rib cuts, but are boneless and often meatier. It's a versatile cut of meat that does well whether slow braising or grilling. In this dish, they result in fall-apart tender pork with incredible flavor.
