Here is a relatively quick and very satisfying meal I prepared in my Instapot.  It is a family favourite that I just don’t seem to make enough to keep “the boys” happy lol! It tastes much better than take out and can be made quickly with things you likely already have on hand!

I serve mine over cooked ramen noodles!

Here are the ingredients needed to make the Mongolian Beef.

The first thing I did was to cut my Round steak into thin slices. It will slice much easier if it is still a little bit frozen.

I added the vegetable oil and minced garlic to the bowl of my Instapot and let the oil start to heat using the Sauté function.

Once the oil was starting to heat up, I added the steak slices and stirred it until the outside of the slices were browned.

In a large measuring cup, I whisked together the brown sugar, ginger, soya sauce, sesame oil and water.

I poured this mixture over top of the slices of steak in the bowl of the Instapot and set the pot to “Pressure Cook” for 10 minutes.

I mixed the corn starch and water in a small bowl and added it to the beef mixture.

I returned the Instapot to the Sauté function and allowed it to cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Once thickened, I spooned it over top of the cooked ramen noodles and topped it with chopped green onions.

And that’s it… a better than take out, easy to make Instapot dinner!
