Pressure Cooker Mongolian Beef

A pressure cooker version of PF Changs popular beef dish. Flank steak thinly sliced cooked in a lightly sweet, savory sauce until it’s melt in your mouth tender. Kelly, Just a Taste shared a picture of her Mongolian Beef recipe on Facebook and it looked fantastic. I had a request for a non-spicy Pressure Cooker Mongolian Beef recipe, so that was all the push I needed to turn her stir fry recipe in to a pressure cooker recipe.

The original recipe is coated with cornstarch and quickly stir fried. In the pressure cooker, it’s best to add thickeners after you cook the beef, so you won’t get a crisp coating in the pressure cooker, but the beef will be much more tender with plenty of rich, flavorful sauce.

This recipe was a big hit with my family. It’s super easy to make and will definitely be making another appearance at our house soon.
