- 1 tsp. oregano
- salt/pepper
- 1 ½ –2 lbs. of flank steak, cut into pieces that will fit into your Instant Pot
- cilantro garlic sauce, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Combine all marinade ingredients together. Allow to marinate for 4 hours.
- Preheat Instant Pot on the sauté feature. Sear steak on all sides in Instant Pot (save marinade). Add marinade to Instant Pot to deglaze. Cook steak in the marinade on high pressure for 4-5 minutes for medium-well steak, then quick release Instant Pot valve.
- Allow steak to rest on cutting board for 7-10 minutes. Slice against the grain. Serve with cilantro garlic sauce.
Notes
To aim for a medium-well steak, aim for 4-5 minutes on high pressure for thicker steaks.
If your steak is thinner, decrease the time to 3 minutes for medium-well.
