1 ½ pounds flank steak sliced into thin strips against the grain

1 tablespoon Vegetable oil for browning

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons minced garlic or garlic paste

1 tablespoons ginger paste

1 teaspoon chili paste or Sriracha

¼ cup soy sauce I use the light variety

½ cup packed light brown sugar

1 tablespoon Dried chile peppers

2-3 green onions sliced diagonally

1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Slice flank steak against the grain into thin slices.

Toss the sliced steak with the cornstarch until the pieces are all coated.

Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the Instant Pot set on the Saute setting. When the oil is hot, brown the steak - a few strips at a time - until golden on the exterior. Place browned meat to the side.

Add beef broth to the Instant Pot, still heated on the Saute setting, and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot - this is called deglazing the pan.

Add sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, Sriracha, soy sauce, brown sugar and chile peppers to the pot. Add the meat back into the pot and stir everything.

Seal the pot with the lid and switch the machine to pressure cook for 10 minutes. Allow the pot to naturally release pressure for 10 additional minutes; then flip the seal to release any additional pressure before removing the lid.

Toss contents of the pot and transfer to a serving plate.

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions.
