Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Flank Steak Shredded.
Step 1
Start by powering on your Instant Pot and selecting the Sauté function.
Step 2
In batches, add the flank steak pieces to the pot and let them brown for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
Step 3
Once they have a nice golden crust, transfer the steak to a plate and set it aside.
Step 4
Next, drizzle some avocado oil into the pot and toss in the chopped mushrooms and onion.
Step 5
Sauté these until the onion turns translucent, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 6
Then, stir in the grated garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute until the aroma fills your kitchen.
Step 7
Now it’s time to add a splash of red wine.
Step 8
Pour it in and let it cook, stirring frequently, until it has almost evaporated—this should take about 2 minutes.
Step 9
After that, pour in the beef broth along with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Step 10
Bring this delicious mixture to a gentle simmer, and then return the browned steak to the pot, making sure it’s well coated in that flavorful broth.
Step 11
Select the Meat option, close and lock the lid, and set the timer for 20 minutes.
Step 12
Don’t forget to allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build before the cooking begins.
Step 13
Once the timer goes off, use the natural-release method to let the pressure release slowly, which will take at least 20 minutes.
Step 14
Carefully transfer the steak back to a plate.
Step 15
In a small bowl, mix together water and flour to create a slurry.
Step 16
Select the Sauté function again and gradually stir this slurry into the broth mixture in the pot.
Step 17
Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until the liquid thickens beautifully.
Step 18
Finally, using two forks, shred the steak into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot, mixing it well with the rich, thickened broth.
Step 19
Enjoy the comforting aroma and the delicious flavors that come together in this hearty dish!.
