Ingredients
- 2 lb flank steak or top round steak
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup of soy sauce
- 2/3 cup of water
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 4 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced ginger*
- 3/4 cup of brown sugar not packed
- 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes
- Rice optional
Garnish:
- 4 green onions chopped
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Step One
- Cut the flank steak into thin strips.
- In a large bowl, toss the flank steak in the flour (working in batches if you need to) and set aside when done.
- Step Two
- In a medium bowl, combine the soy cause, rice vinegar, water, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes.
- Step Three
- Place the flank steak into the Instant pot and pour the soy sauce mixture over the meat. Stir it up until the meat is totally covered.
- Note: many of the recipes I’ve tried call for browning the meat in sesame oil, in batches, before adding the sauce. I have attempted this step, found it sort of annoying, and decided to try and skip it. There is zero difference in the outcome of this dish – you do not need to brown the meat in this particular recipe.)
- Step Four
- Close the lid on your Instant Pot and set it to the Manual (high pressure) setting and set the timer to 15 minutes.
- When the cooking time is over, allow the Instant Pot to natural release for 10 minutes and then use the quick release feature to depressurize the pressure cooker
- Step Five
- Serve this super yummy Mongolian Beef over rice and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds!
