Instructions

1
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (high). Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the sausage links and sear, turning once with tongs, until browned on two sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer the sausages to a plate — they will finish cooking under pressure.
2
Add the onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent at the edges, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
