Ingredients:

32 oz flank steak
910g
1 tbsp salt
18g
1 tbsp black pepper
6g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g
4 garlic cloves
12g
1/2 cup soy sauce
140g
1/2 cup water
120g
2/3 cup brown sugar
150g
1/2 tsp ginger root
1g
2 tbsp cornstarch
16g
3 tbsp water
44g
3 onions
44g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:
- Thinly slice the 32 oz flank steak against the grain. This helps tenderize the meat and makes it absorb the flavors better.
- Season the sliced flank steak with 1 tbsp salt and 1 tbsp black pepper. Toss to evenly coat the beef slices.
2. Sauté:
- Set your pressure cooker to the “Sauté” function and heat up 1 tbsp vegetable oil.
- Add the minced 4 garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the seasoned flank steak slices to the pressure cooker. Sear the meat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned on all sides.
3. Make the Sauce:
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 2/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp grated ginger root. Mix until the brown sugar is dissolved.
4. Pressure Cook:
- Pour the sauce mixture over the browned steak in the pressure cooker.
- Stir in the 3 sliced onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set the vent to the sealing position.
- Cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.
5. Thicken the Sauce:
- While the beef is cooking, prepare a cornstarch slurry by mixing 2 tbsp cornstarch with 3 tbsp water in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
- Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
- Carefully open the lid, set the cooker to the “Sauté” function, and stir in the cornstarch slurry.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
6. Serve:
- Turn off the pressure cooker and let the Mongolian beef cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the Mongolian beef over steamed rice or alongside your favorite vegetables.

Tips:

- For an even more flavorful dish, marinate the flank steak in the soy sauce, garlic, and ginger mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

- Cut the flank steak against the grain for even more tender pieces of meat.

- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of cornstarch and water mixture to your liking.

- For added texture, consider garnishing with chopped green onions or sesame seeds before serving.

- Always allow the pressure cooker to release pressure naturally for the best texture and to ensure the meat is thoroughly cooked.

Enjoy your Pressure Cooker Mongolian Beef with Onions over a bed of steamed rice or with your favorite vegetables. This recipe offers a perfect blend of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors, and the pressure cooker ensures a hassle-free cooking experience. With every bite, you'll appreciate the tenderness of the beef and the rich, aromatic sauce.
