Instant Pot Mongolian Beef Recipe

Do you have an instant pot? Hubby likes ours. A fast pressure cooker that has versatile settings. You can cook a lot of different things in an Instant Pot, including making your main dish for dinner.

One of the things that always strikes me is the name “instant” pot. It really is not instant at all. It reminds me more of a multi-cooker than a slow-cooker. I will admit I do not use ours. Like most of the kitchen gadgets in our home, it is allllll Hubby. He likes it. To me, it seems a bit like work, but I cannot argue with the results – they are simply fabulous!

Instant Pot Mongolian Beef Recipe Directions:

1. Cut the stir-fry beef into thin strips
2. Season the beef liberally with salt and pepper.

3. Toss the beef in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
4. Turn the Instant Pot on the “Sauté” mode. Let the Pot heat up for 4 to 5 minutes or until the display shows “HOT.”
5. Add sesame oil and let it shimmer.

6. Add cornstarch coated beef strips to the hot oil and let it sear for 2-3 minutes.

7. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ¼ cup of water. Give everything a good mix, scraping off the brown bits of meat stuck at the bottom of the pot.

8. Turn off “Saute” mode. Put the lid on, making sure that the pressure valve is in the “Sealing” position.
9. Select the “Pressure Cook” mode. Adjust the time, with the “- / +” to 15 minutes.

10. When Instant Pot beeps, let the pressure release the natural way for 5 minutes, and then using a thick tea towel, turn the pressure valve to the “Venting” position to do the quick release.

11. Meanwhile, make a slurry with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water.

12. Open the lid and add the cornstarch slurry. Stir everything together.
13. Turn back the Instant Pot on the “Sauté” mode. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes until the liquid thickens into a saucy consistency and coats the beef strips.

14. Serve immediately over white/brown or cauliflower rice. Garnish with sesame seed and sliced green onions.
