Cut the short ribs into 1½-inch pieces, then season them well with salt and pepper.
2 lbs Boneless short ribs, Salt and pepper
Cut the potatoes, onions, and carrots into bite-sized pieces, and mince the garlic.
3 cloves Garlic, 2 medium Onions, 3 Carrots, 5 Red potatoes
Set the Instant Pot to saute mode. Once nice and hot, add the olive oil and short ribs, and sear for a few minutes until browned. Do this in two batches if needed to not overcrowd the pot.

24 oz Dark beer, 2 cups Beef stock, 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 sprigs Rosemary, 2 Bay leaves, 1 teaspoon Parsley

The key to searing beef is making sure the Instant Pot is very hot before adding the ribs.

It's a good idea to sear the beef in two batches. This will keep it from overcrowding the pan and thus not searing properly.

You can use bone-in ribs too! Just pressure cook them for 1-2 minutes longer.

You can also use country-style boneless pork ribs for a budget-friendly option.
