Recipe courtesy of The Blond Cook

Prep Time: 10 minute
Cook Time: 38 minutes
Total Time: 48 minutes
Serves 6

Instructions

2 lbs. flank steak, sliced thin
2 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
3/4 tsp. fresh ginger root, minced
2 tsp. garlic, minced
3/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 cup carrots, shredded
3 Tbsp. corn starch
1/3 cup cold water
Sesame seeds for garnish

Ingredients

  1. In a medium bowl, add ginger root, garlic, soy sauce, 1 cup water, brown sugar and hoisin sauce. Stir well to combine.
  2. Set your Instant Pot to the saute setting. Add olive oil. When olive oil is heated, add beef and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Pour mixture over beef and stir to combine. Add carrots and stir again.
  4. Turn Instant Pot off. Place the lid on and lock. Steam release knob should be set on “sealing”.
  5. Cook on manual setting (high pressure) for 10 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure. Carefully remove the lid and stir. Turn off Instant Pot.
  6. Prepare the cornstarch slurry by whisking together cornstarch and 1/3 cup cold water in a small bowl or large measuring cup until smooth. Add to sauce and stir to combine. Turn on the sauté setting and continue to stir until slightly thickened (about 2 minutes). Turn off your Instant Pot. Sauce will thicken as it sits (about 5 minutes).
  7. Serve over cooked white rice (if desired) and top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
