Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, 1/2 cup broth, brown sugar, hoisin, vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, ginger, and garlic until well combined.
  • Stir in steak, then cover and let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or (preferably) in the fridge for up to 8 hours.
  • Hit SAUTE on a 6 quart Instant Pot.
  • Once it reads HOT, add in extra virgin olive oil and sliced onion, then sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Hit CANCEL, then pour steak and marinade into the IP. Be sure to scrape any brown bits off the bottom to prevent a BURN reading.
  • Cover and lock the lid (make sure the steam releasing handle is pointing to sealing), then cook on HIGH pressure for 6 minutes.
  • When the time is up, allow a natural release for 15 minutes, then flip the valve to release the remaining pressure.
  • Hit SAUTE on the Instant Pot.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup broth until smooth, slowly whisk into the Instant Pot, then allow to simmer until sauce has thickened to your liking.
  • Taste and re-season, if necessary, then serve over rice with chopped green onions and a side of roasted broccoli and enjoy!
