Prepare the Cuban Mojo marinade and marinate the country style pork ribs overnight.

Place the marinated pork ribs and the marinade into the Instant Pot bowl.

Set the Instant Pot to high pressure cook for 30 minutes, regardless of the amount of pork.

After cooking, allow the pressure to vent naturally for 10 to 15 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.

Transfer the cooked pork to a large plate or baking dish using tongs and a small fork to avoid burns.

Return the pork to the Instant Pot bowl and sprinkle some mojo sauce over the top, tossing to spread it evenly.

Add a few slices of raw onion on top of the pork and drizzle with more mojo sauce.

Attach the air fryer lid to the Instant Pot and set it to broil at 400 degrees for 7 minutes.

After 7 minutes, use tongs to toss the pork to ensure even cooking.

Set the Instant Pot back to broiling mode for an additional 3 minutes.
