Step 1

Prepare the cut of beef; using a sharp knife, cut the flank steak into 1-inch strips or thin slices. Place beef into the bottom of the pot. Use the sauté setting. If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, you can add the seasoning mix and meat in a medium bowl and marinate the meat ahead of time.

Step 2

Press the saute button, and add the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix in the soy sauce, brown sugar, and water to the bottom of pot.

Step 3

Close lid on, press the (high pressure) select pressure cook manual button and adjust the cook time to 10 minutes. When the beeper goes off, do a quick release, releasing the remaining pressure.

Step 4

Press the saute button to let the sauce thicken; it should only take about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 5

If you want to thicken the sauce, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to a small bowl, mix well, and then mix in with the sauce and saute for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Serve with cauliflower rice, fresh vegetables, or jasmine rice.
