I used a rack of pork ribs because they fit nicely into the Instant pot without cutting them apart. Beef ribs were definitely too big to fit in my 6 quart Instant Pot.

Using ¼ cup of bbq sauce (reserve the larger portion of sauce for later), gently brush or spoon over the ribs in the pot.
Close and lock Instant Pot lid, and flip the steam release handle to the Sealing mode.
Press Pressure Cook (or Manual on some models) on High Pressure and Press the + button to set the timer to 25 minutes.
Once cooking time is complete, let the pressure Naturally Release for at least 20 minutes (do nothing & let the pot sit for 20 minutes) and then Quick Release any remaining pressure.
Heat oven to broil (high). Gently lift ribs from Instant Pot and place on a foil-lined, silicone baking mat lined or non stick baking sheet.
Brush ribs with remaining BBQ sauce covering all sides. Broil for 4 to 5 minutes or until the sauce has caramelized. Remove from broiler and serve.
