How to Make

Full directions on How to Make Instant Pot Steak are in the recipe card below. This is a quick walk-through on how to make it.

Start by patting dry your steaks, and then season them as directed. I tend to liberally season the steaks to help lock in all the flavor!

Now you will add some oil into your Instant Pot and turn the saute feature on.

You will then place steak in the Instant Pot to sear the steaks on all sides. This will create texture and lock in tons of flavor from the seasonings.

Once done, pour in your water or broth, and deglaze the pot. You need to do this to prevent the burn notice from stuck on bits.

Place trivet in the pressure cooker, and then sit the steak on the trivet.

Pressure cook the steak as directed, and then remove the steak and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

If you want to make gravy, turn the Instant Pot to saute, and sauté the onions and mushrooms. Or, sauté the onions and mushrooms on the stovetop while the steak is pressure cooking.

Then, you'll create a cornstarch slurry you stir in to the hot mixture. It will thicken, and you can pour over your steaks.

Storage

Don't plan to eat all your steak and gravy right away? No problem! Just take any leftovers and place in the proper airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days.

Then when you want to eat, reheat on the stove or in the microwave.

If you find the gravy is too thick add a splash of broth to it, to thin it up. Whisk until lumps are gone and pour over the steak.

Variations

• Skip the gravy if you don't want to serve it with a brown gravy.
• Use any cut of steak you want. This is a great flank steak recipe, rib eye steak recipe, KC strip steak, New York strip recipe, etc.
• Change up the seasonings you use to flavor the steak. Reach for your own rub recipe, or buy your favorite brand.

Tips

• Don't skip searing steak, it is what adds flavor to your meat.
• If you cook from frozen, then skip the sear, and once done, liberally season and then pan sear to lock in flavor.
• The gravy adds tons of flavor to the steak, I recommend not leaving it off.
• Add in some mushrooms or even onions to dress up the sauce.

Steak is a cut from beef. Depending on the cut you can have a boneless steak or bone-in steak. You can use steak for almost any recipe. From grilling to baking in the oven to Instant pot.
