Ingredients

Serve With

  • 2 medium carrot
  • 1/2 cup broccoli, florets
  • 1 cup snow peas

Instructions

  • Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions.
  • Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain; mince garlic and ginger.
  • Turn on the Instant Pot and press the "Saute" button; once hot, add the steak and brown on all sides.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and water.
  • Once the meat is browned, pour soy sauce mixture over it. Lock on the Instant Pot Lid.
  • Cancel the "Saute" feature, and push the "Manual" button. Adjust the time for 12 minutes.
  • While the beef is cooking, whisk together the honey and molasses in a small dish.
  • In another small dish, whisk together the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water.
  • When the Instant Pot beeps, use the vent to release the pressure all at once, then carefully open the lid.
  • Stir in the honey/molasses mixture, followed by cornstarch/water mixture.
  • Push the "Saute" button and heat the beef just until the sauce thickens, 3-5 minutes.
  • Serve the Mongolian beef over the brown rice, garnished with chopped green onions, with the steamed veggies on the side.
  • For the Veggies:  Peel carrots and slice thinly on a diagonal. Cut broccoli into florets.
  • Add all the veggies to a steamer basket along with 1/2 cup water. Steam until tender; season with salt and pepper if desired.
