- Using the whisk, scrape up the bits of meat and fat from the bottom of the Instant Pot. Then pour in the sauce and mix together.
- Place the seared ribs back into the Instant Pot and submerge them as best as you can in the sauce.
- Change the setting on the Instant Pot to the Meat/Stew setting, place the lid on, seal the vent, and set the timer to 30 minutes.
- When finished, release the pressure and remove the lid.
- With tongs, remove the ribs from the pot and set on a platter or large plate.
- If you desire to thicken the sauce whisk in arrowroot + water. Otherwise, transfer the sauce to a gravy boat or bowl with a ladle for serving over the ribs.
