Quick and easy recipe to make Instant Pot ginger pepper steak with green peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger mixed in a flavorful, savory Teriyaki sauce served over rice.
Cook rice in rice cooker/steamer -OR- you can bring 1 and a half cups of water to a boil over the stove, add ¾ cups of rice, reduce to medium-high heat, cover, and let simmer for approximately 18-20 minutes. Once cooked, fluff rice with a fork. Set aside. **It's best to have the rice ready for cooking at the same time as the beef starts pressure cooking in the Instant Pot.
Ginger Pepper Steak
Prepare your meat by cutting beef into strips if not already done so. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to the Instant Pot on the SAUTE setting. Add beef once it is hot and cook until it is browned on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. You will likely need to work in batches.
Add beef broth to the Instant Pot and scrape up any tidbits left from the meat. Add in the garlic, ginger, and beef, close the lid, and vent. Set it to MEAT/STEW, adjust to high, and set the timer for 15 minutes.
While the beef cooks, prepare the green pepper and onion by rinsing underwater. Remove the seeds and stem from the green pepper and dice into ½" wide pieces. Cut the onion into ½" pieces as well.
Once the beef is done, quick-release the vent, and add the green peppers and onions to the Instant Pot and stir. Place the lid on for 5-8 minutes until the green peppers and onions are tender. Add in teriyaki sauce and cornstarch. Allow sauce to thicken before serving.
