Making dinner using your instant pot cuts down on meal prep and cooking time which is a big deal on those busy weeknights!
What Are Chuck Steaks?
A beef chuck steak is a cut of meat that comes from the forequarter. This cut of beef has a lot of flavor. But it can also be a tougher cut, which makes cooking it in the electric pressure cooker a great way to get the best results. Slow cooking is often a go to method for cooking a chuck steak. However, using an instant pot recipe allows for the connective tissue to break down to give you tender meat in a fraction of the time over using a crock pot.
Tips for Making An Instant Pot Steak Recipe
Using an Instant Pot pressure cooker to cook your chuck steak recipes will bring dinner together in less time. Here are some simple tips for making any pressure cooker steak recipe:
- For best results try searing your steaks before pressure cooking them. After patting the steak dry and adding some seasoning, add a little olive oil to the bottom of the pot and use the saute setting to brown each side of the steak (1-2 minutes per side). This will seal all those juices inside and leave you with a better texture on your steak!
- Add enough liquid (cup of water, red wine, cup of beef stock etc – whatever the recipe card calls for) to the bottom of the pot and scrape up the browned bits. The brown bits are packed with flavor and will take your steak to the next level!
- Place your steaks on a trivet inside the bottom of the instant pot so they aren’t sitting in the liquid.
- Cook on high pressure. The cook time will depend on the level of doneness you are going for so use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Rare steak – 130 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. Medium rare steak – 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Medium steak – 155 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Well done steak – 165 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use oven mitts when handling the inner pot and the valve – it’s hot!
- Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into them. This will allow the juices to redistribute and will give you the juiciest steak!
