This tender Instant Pot steak recipe delivers juicy, perfectly cooked steak in just 20 minutes, making it ideal for busy weeknights or last-minute dinners. The pressure cooker locks in moisture and tenderness, producing a steakhouse-quality meal with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak, trimmed and cut into 1–2 inch thick pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, onion powder, and dried herbs. Let rest while heating pan.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 2-3 minutes). Sear steaks 2-3 minutes per side until browned and crusty. Work in batches if needed.
  3. Remove steaks and pour 1 cup beef broth and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce into hot pan. Scrape up browned bits with wooden spoon.
  4. Transfer deglazed broth and steaks into Instant Pot. Add minced garlic on top. Seal lid and set to Manual/Pressure Cook on high for 8 minutes if fresh, 10 minutes if frozen.
  5. Let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then quick-release remaining pressure carefully.
  6. Remove steaks, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Optional: Switch Instant Pot to sauté and simmer remaining liquid 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour over steak before serving.

Notes

Do not skip searing for best crust and flavor. Adjust pressure cooking time by 1-2 minutes for desired doneness (135°F/57°C for medium rare). Use low-sodium broth and gluten-free Worcestershire sauce for dietary needs. Let pressure release naturally for tenderness. Rest steak before slicing to lock in juices.
