Instant Pot Teriyaki Beef

I’m not afraid to admit it, when certain groceries go on sale I stock my freezer, enter stewing beef cubes.  I wanted to use my Instant Pot but wanted something different.  You know those aha moments that open your eyes to a whole new world?  Well, that’s what this was.  Beef teriyaki with melt-in-your-mouth beef thanks to my trusty Instant Pot 👍

Description

Beef teriyaki with melt-in-your-mouth beef thanks to my trusty Instant Pot 🙂


Ingredients

Scale

1 Cup water, plus 1 tbsp

¼ Cup sodium-reduced soy sauce

2 tbsp brown sugar

3 Cloves garlic, crushed

1 Inch fresh ginger, grated

½ tsp pepper, plus more

1 tbsp extra Virgin olive oil

1 Small onion, sliced into sticks

1 Small red pepper, sliced

1 Small yellow pepper, sliced

Salt

453 g (1 lb) stewing beef cubes

1 tbsp cornstarch

2 Green onions, sliced


Instructions

Whisk together the 1 cup of water, the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and ½ tsp pepper (no salt); set aside.

Set your Instant Pot to sauté and add in the olive oil, when it’s hot add the onion and peppers; season with salt and pepper.

Saute for 2-3 minutes, just until the veggies start to soften and then set the veggies aside in a bowl.

Add the beef to the Instant Pot to brown (with the setting still on sauté) working in batches if needed; season with salt and pepper.

Give the soy mixture a quick mix and then add it to the pot, gently scraping the bottom of the pot to release any yummy bits.

Cover with the lid and lock it, ensure the valve is set to sealing and then set the pot to manual for 45 minutes.

Do a quick release.

Whisk together the 1 tbsp water and the cornstarch until completely smooth, it should look like white water.

Take the lid off the pot, set the pot back to sauté and when the liquid comes to a boil add in the cornstarch/water slurry; let it bubble until the sauce thickens.

Turn the pot off and add in the reserved peppers, onion and the green onion; mix well.

Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Serve on your fav rice or noodles.

Notes

  1. Use any combination of peppers you’d like.
  2. Feel free to add in more veggies of your choosing

    Can I use frozen beef?

      I’ve never tried it but I have heard that it is possible. My research says to add 5 minutes to the cooking time and allow more time for the pot to build pressure. Also, you won’t be able to brown the beef first but that should still be fine.

      Again though, I haven’t tried it.

      Let me know how it turns out!!!

      Hey!

      Sorry to hear that 🙁 I’ve burned a roast before in my Instant Pot because the pressure didn’t build properly.

      I’m not sure what else could have caused your dinner to burn 🙁

    Isn’t 45 min. too long? When I cook beef stew the meat cubes are fall apart tender after 20 min.

      Hmmmmm;

      I’ve never tried it but as always, go with what you know… I’m going to see how 20 minutes works for me next time.

      Thanks 🙂

    Needs way less time to cook, beef falls apart. While tasty, it does not taste like teriyaki.

      Hey! I chose a tougher meat and wanted “melt in your mouth” but please feel free to cut the cooking time in half if you would like the meat a little less “melt I your mouth! I’m glad you thought my dish was tasty.. thank you for taking the time to comment 🙂

          Hi!

          If the meat is already cooked, I’d stir fry the veggies, add in the sliced pork then add the teriyaki sauce.

          1. Just use a large sauté/frying pan
          2. Prep the teriyaki sauce prior to starting the stir fry.

          This doesn’t need the instant pot but you can use it on sauté 👍
