Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4-6 cube steaks
  • 1 pound baby potatoes halved
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms thickly sliced
  • 1 medoim yellow onion sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Coat the bottom of the Instant Pot with vegetable oil (this is optional but to prevent the BURN message from appearing).
  • Add the cube steak, and season. Feel free to layer the steak slices, but season them all.
  • Add potatoes, mushrooms, sliced onion, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. And finally the beef stock or broth.
  • Secure the lid, and make sure that the vent is set on SEALING position. Press on MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK on high pressure, and set at 20 minutes. Allow the pressure cooker to come to pressure (this will take around 10 minutes), and start cooking for 20 minutes.
  • When the time is up, quickly release the steam. To plate, take the steak out, as long as the veggies. You will be left with the liquids at the pot, you can thicken that to make a gravy by pressing on SAUTE and adding 1-2 tablespoons of corn starch slurry (see notes), and mixing until the gravy is thickened.

Notes

  • To make a cornstarch slurry, mix 1-2 tbsp of corn starch with 1 tbsp of water. Then add it to the sauce that you would like to thicken. Keep mixing while it's being heated, until it thickens. I usually start with 1 tbsp of cornstarch, and then add more if needed.
  • Feel free to leave the cayenne out if you don't like spiciness. Substitute with your favorite steak seasonings.
