Steak in the Instant Pot

Step 1

Put pot on saute and add olive oil with steaks. Sear on outsides. Remove and deglaze the pot using 1/4 c of broth. Slice onion and put on bottom of pot.

Step 2

Season steak with salt, pepper and anything else you desire and place on top of onions. Try to overlap the least possible.

Step 3

In a bowl whisk together rest of your broth, onion soup mix/or package of dry gravy mix, steak sauce and minced garlic. Pour this over your steak.

Step 4

Cut potatoes into quarters and place inside pot on sides of steak. Sprinkle salt and pepper on potatoes.

Step 5

Close lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for 5 minutes. (NOTE: timing will vary depending on how thick and large your pieces are and how well done you like them but this has been perfect for us)

Step 6

Allow to naturally release steam when done, this will take about 15 minutes.

Step 7

Remove steak, potatoes and onions and set pot to saute if you want to thicken sauce.

Step 8

In a bowl whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Once it is boiling add this in and stir for 1-2 minutes so it thickens. Turn pot off and pour this sauce over potatoes and steak.
