Pour in 1.5 cups of water from the faucet.

Add 3/4 cup of white vinegar to the mixture.

Stir in 3/4 cup of dark brown sugar.

Add 2 cloves of minced or crushed garlic to the sauce.

Whisk the sauce together until combined.

Heat the Instant Pot and sear the short ribs quickly.

Deglaze the bottom of the pot with a little of the sauce to lift the drippings.

Place all the short ribs back into the pot.

Add 3 diced onions to the pot.

Pour the remaining sauce over the short ribs and onions.

Seal the Instant Pot and set it to pressure cook for 45 minutes.

After cooking, remove the short ribs from the pot.

Prepare a corn starch slurry by mixing 3 tablespoons of corn starch with 3 tablespoons of cold water.

Add the slurry to the pot and stir to thicken the sauce.

Ladle the thickened sauce over the short ribs before serving.
