Mongolian Beef Pressure Cooker Recipe

A pressure cooker version of PF Changs popular beef dish. Flank steak thinly sliced cooked in a lightly sweet, savory sauce until it’s melt in your mouth tender. 

Kelly, Just a Taste shared a picture of her Mongolian Beef recipe on Facebook and it looked fantastic. I had a request for a non-spicy Mongolian Beef pressure cooker recipe, so that was all the push I needed to turn her stir fry recipe in to a pressure cooker recipe.

The original recipe is coated with cornstarch and quickly stir fried. In the pressure cooker, it’s best to add thickeners after you cook the beef, so you won’t get a crisp coating in the pressure cooker, but the beef will be much more tender with plenty of rich, flavorful sauce.

This recipe was a big hit with my family. It’s super easy to make and will definitely be making another appearance at our house soon.

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 pounds flank steak, cut into 1/4" strips

• 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoon cornstarch

1. Season beef with salt and pepper. Put oil in the cooking pot and select browning. When oil begins to sizzle, brown meat in batches until all meat is browned - do not crowd. Transfer meat to a plate when browned.
2. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, brown sugar, and ginger. Stir to combine.
3. Add browned beef and any accumulated juices. Select High Pressure. Set timer for 12 minutes.
4. When beep sounds turn pressure cooker off and use a quick pressure release. When valve drops carefully remove the lid.
