Cooking Instructions

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Japanese Beef Curry.

Step 1
Start by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function and pouring in some canola oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, toss in the chopped onion and let it sauté for about three minutes, stirring occasionally, until it turns a lovely translucent color.
Step 3
Next, add in the beef cubes, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger.
Step 4
Keep sautéing for another three minutes, allowing the beef to brown slightly and fill your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to introduce the cubed potatoes and chopped carrots.
Step 6
Stir everything together for about two minutes, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 7
Season this hearty mixture with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 8
Pour in the beef broth, then add the grated apple, ketchup, and soy sauce, but hold off on stirring just yet.
Step 9
Break the Japanese curry roux into blocks and gently place them on top of the mixture without mixing them in.
Step 10
This step is crucial for achieving that rich curry flavor later on.
Step 11
Once everything is in the pot, turn off the 'Sauté' function.
Step 12
Securely close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot, making sure the valve is sealed tight.
Step 13
Select 'High Pressure' and set the timer for 15 minutes.
Step 14
As the pressure builds, which may take about 10 to 15 minutes, take a moment to savor the delicious scents wafting from your pot.
Step 15
When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally, which can take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes.
Step 16
Once it’s safe to open, carefully unlock and remove the lid.
Step 17
Finally, give the contents a good stir to blend the melted curry roux into the broth, transforming it into a rich and flavorful sauce that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
Step 18
Enjoy your delightful curry creation!.
