Instructions

Brown the lamb shanks. If they fit in the Instant Pot set it on Saute and brown on all sides in olive oil. If they are too large use a frying pan to brown them.
If you browned the lamb shanks in the Instant Pot remove them and set them aside. Set the Instant Pot on Saute and saute the carrots, celery and onion in the olive oil for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and turn the Instant Pot off.
Deglaze the Instant Pot by adding the wine and water. Scrape the bottom of the Instant Pot with a wooden spoon to release any bit of meat or vegetables that are stick to the bottom.
Add the peppercorns, salt and rosemary and stir. Return the lamb shanks to the Instant Pot, putting the meaty ends in the liquid.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot, checking the sealing ring and making sure the valve is closed. Set on Manual, high pressure, for 45 minutes.
Once the pressure cooker is done let it release naturally for 10 minutes. Then release any remaining pressure manually.
Take the lamb shanks out of the liquid. Mix the cornstarch and cold water. Stir the mixture into the Instant Pot and set it on Saute. Cook, stirring for 5 minutes to thicken the gravy.

Notes

It is ok if the top bone of the lamb shanks extends a little above the Max Fill line on the Instant Pot.
I cook and test my recipes in a 6 quart Instant Pot. You might need to modify the recipe if you have a different brand or size of pressure cooker.
If you are cooking 3 lamb shanks increase both the wine and the water amounts to 1 cup each.
