How to Make Mustard Carolina BBQ Short Ribs
Our oven braised beef short ribs has been a popular recipe on the site for years, so we are speeding things up with this recipe and cooking them in the Instant Pot. Here are the basic steps…
- Prep the ribs
- Sprinkle the ribs on all sides with the BBQ rub.
- Turn the Instant Pot to “saute” mode and put a little oil into the pot. Sear the ribs on each side and then remove them to a plate.
- Pro tip: Don’t crowd the ribs when you are browning them. You are going to have to do them in a few batches, so be patient!
- Cook the ribs
- Pour the pineapple juice in the Instant Pot and add the trivet to keep the ribs up out of the juice. Place the ribs on the trivet and pour some of the Carolina sauce all over them
- Add the lid, set the valve to seal, and turn the Instant Pot to high pressure for 30 minutes
- Allow for a 15 minute natural release
- Crisp the ribs
- Once the short ribs are done, remove them from the Instant Pot and place them on a cookie sheet and stick them in the broiler for a couple of minutes so they get all crispy delicious.
- Then brush some more Carolina mustard BBQ sauce all over those babies and serve them immediately. They will be fork-tender delicious!
Can Carolina Short Ribs Be Made Ahead?
Yes! I actually think Carolina beef short ribs taste better the next day, and they reheat super well. If you have the patience of Job and can resist eating them right away, store them in an airtight container in their juices. Scrape off solidified fat, and reheat them the next day on the stove top at a low simmer.
Are Carolina Short Ribs Different Than BBQ Short Ribs?
If you’ve had our sticky BBQ beef short ribs, you will find that the only difference between those and these Carolina style short ribs is the sauce used. The BBQ short ribs use a ketchup and brown sugar based sauce while the Carolina style is uses the mustard based sauce.
How Long Will Short Ribs Keep?
Uncooked short ribs will keep in the freezer for 6 to 12 months if they are stored properly. Once they are cooked, they will keep in the fridge for 4-5 days. They can also be stored in the freezer once they are cooked for up to 3 months.
Reheat beef short ribs in the oven with a little beef broth in a baking dish or dutch oven and covered with foil. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and warm them up until heated through.
Are Carolina Short Ribs Baked?
Carolina short ribs can be cooked in an oven using a technique called braising. Follow the instructions in our Korean oven braised short ribs recipe but use the Carolina mustard BBQ sauce in place of all the Korean ingredients.
Can Carolina Short Ribs Be Cooked In A Slow Cooker?
Yes! Follow all the same instructions and then cook the boneless short ribs in a slow cooker on low for 4-5 hours and no more than 8. I still like to crisp them in the broiler right before eating them to get those crispy delicious bits!
Can BBQ Sauce Be Frozen?
Left over BBQ sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months.
How Long Will BBQ Sauce Keep?
Homemade BBQ sauces don’t have the shelf life that store bought sauces have. This Carolina mustard sauce will last about a week in the refrigerator. And yes, it should be refrigerated!
How Do You Get BBQ Sauce Out of Clothes?
I have found that club soda does the best job at getting mustard based stains out of clothes. If that doesn’t work, then I always go for Oxy Clean…it is a miracle worker in my book!
