Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 Tablespoon minced ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • ¾ cup beef broth
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ½ Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1½ pounds skirt steak (sliced thinly against the grain, about 1/8" thick; flank steak also works well)
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 2 bell peppers seeds removed and thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped
  • 3 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

  • Press the SAUTE button on the Instant Pot.
  • Add the oil to the pot.
  • Once the oil is hot, add in ginger and garlic. Saute for a minute or until you can start to smell it cooking. Press the CANCEL button.
  • Add in beef broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk liquid together with the ginger and garlic.
  • Place the steak in the liquid, place the lid on top, and move the valve to SEALING (not venting).
  • Press the PRESSURE COOK button and set timer for 15 minutes.
  • While beef is cooking, mix together cornstarch and water. Set aside.
  • As soon as the timer is finished, do a QUICK RELEASE of the pressure (if you do a natural release, the meat might be overcooked).
  • Remove the lid and pour in the cornstarch mixture, mixing it in quickly so that it doesn't leave behind clumps.
  • Add in the peppers and onions. Press the SAUTE button and let the mixture cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens up and the vegetables have softened slightly (about 1-2 minutes). Serve over cooked rice.

Notes

  • Remember, you can always add time, but you cant take time away. Overcooking the steak will definitely give you tough, chewy meat.
