Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 - 1 ½ pound (518g) well marbled chuck steak
1 (227g) large onion (, sliced)
1 (50g) large shallot (, sliced)
3 (11g) garlic cloves (, roughly minced)
1 tablespoon (6g) ginger (, roughly minced)
5 - 6 dried Chinese red chili ((optional))
2 (49g) stalks green onions (, cut into 2 inches strips)
1 tablespoon (15ml) peanut oil
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup (125ml) unsalted chicken stock
2 tablespoons (28g) brown sugar
1 tablespoon (15ml) regular soy sauce
1 teaspoon (5ml) dark soy sauce
3 drops sesame oil
2 tablespoons (18g) cornstarch
2 tablespoons (30ml) water

Steps:

  • Prepare Pressure Cooker: Heat up your pressure cooker over medium high heat (Instant Pot: press Sauté button and click Adjust button to go to Sauté More function). Make sure your pot is as hot as it can be (Instant Pot: wait until the indicator says HOT).
  • Prep Ingredients: While the pressure cooker is heating up, you can prepare the ingredients as indicated. You should have about 24 mins including the time for browning the chuck steak.
  • Brown Chuck Steak: Season one side of the chuck steak generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add 1 tbsp (15ml) peanut oil in pressure cooker. Ensure to coat the oil over whole bottom of the pot. Carefully place the seasoned side of chuck steak in pressure cooker. Generously season the other side with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Brown for 7 mins on each side without flipping. Remove and set aside on a chopping board.
  • Make Chicken Stock Mixture: While the chuck steak is browning in pressure cooker, mix 1 tbsp (15ml) regular soy sauce, 1 tsp (5ml) dark soy sauce, 3 drops of sesame oil, 2 tbsp (28g) brown sugar, and ½ cup (125ml) unsalted chicken stock in a glass measuring cup.
  • Sauté Onion & Garlic: Add sliced onion (227g) and shallot (50g) to the pressure cooker. Sauté for roughly 2 mins. Add in minced garlic cloves, ginger, and 6 dried Chinese red chili (optional), stir for roughly 90 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  • Deglaze: Pour in the soy sauce chicken stock mixture (from Step 4) and completely deglaze bottom of the pot by scrubbing the flavorful brown bits with wooden spoon. Turn off the heat briefly to cut the chuck steak.
  • Cut Chuck Steak: After deglazing, cut the chuck steak into ⅛ inch thick beef slices. Since chuck roast grains run in different directions, slice it against the grains the best you can. Place beef slices and the flavorful meat juice in pressure cooker. Make sure all beef slices are partially submerged into the cooking liquid.
  • Pressure Cook Beef Slices: Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 12 minutes + 12 minutes Natural Release (after the pressure cooker has finished cooking, wait 12 minutes then carefully release the remaining pressure). Turn off the heat. Open the lid carefully.
  • Thicken Sauce: Press Cancel button and Sauté button to heat up the sauce. In a small mixing bowl, mix cornstarch with water and mix it in one third at a time until desired thickness. Add green onion strips and give it a few quick stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning with kosher salt and brown sugar if necessary.
  • Serve: Serve Mongolian Beef with Jasmine rice and other main & side dishes. Serve immediately.

PRESSURE COOKER MONGOLIAN BEEF

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds flank steak cut into thin strips - I like to ask the butcher to slice it for me - his knife is sharper than mine!
1/2 cup corn starch
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoon minced garlic or 2 teaspoons garlic paste
1 teaspoon minced ginger or ginger paste
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 cup carrots - sliced or grated
Green onions for garnish
2 Cups cooked rice - I suggest cooking rice on stove top as beef is cooking.

Steps:

  • Place sliced steak and corn starch into a gallon sized ziploc bag. Shake well until all steak is coated. Add carrots and shake again until carrots are also coated. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk olive oil, garlic, ginger, dark brown sugar, soy sauce & water together. Pour mixture into pressure cooker. Sift out steak and carrots and place into pressure cooker. Mix well to evenly coat all meat and carrots. Place lid onto pressure cooker, locking into place. Make sure venting spout is closed. Program for High Pressure, 12 minutes. When beef is finished cooking, open venting spout with a dish cloth. Allow all air to vent out. Once venting is over, open pressure cooker. Mix well and serve over rice.
