Instant Pot Baked Steak Recipe

It's here!  It's here!  Crocktober is FINALLY here!  If you're new to the blog, you'll know that every October I do something called Crocktober where I share nothing, but crockpot/instant pot  recipes for the entire month!  I have some DELICIOUS ones line up for you this year starting with this Instant Pot Baked Steak Recipe!  

Here in West Virginia baked steak is king, but time consuming. However, I have come up with an instant pot recipe that will have this beloved dish on your table in about an hour!  I know you're gonna love it so...

Let's get started!

(Oh, before I forget.  If you don't have an Instant Pot, don't worry.  I will have the crockpot instructions for you in the recipe as well.)




For this Instant Pot Baked Steak Recipe you are going to need a few simple ingredients:

• Cubed Steak (enough for your family)
• 1 packet of Au Jus Gravy Mix
• 1/4 c Steak Sauce
• 1 Tbsp. Minced Onion
• 4 c Beef Broth
• 2 Tbsp Cornstarch
• 1/4 c water
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

To begin you will need to season the cubed steak with salt and pepper on both sides.

Next, place the seasoned cubed steak into the Instant Pot insert.

Now sprinkle in the Au Jus Gravy Mix,

Minced Onion,
(you can use a diced onion if you like)

Steak Sauce,

And beef broth.

It should look like this.

Place the lid onto your instant pot, making sure the valve is set to SEALING.

Hit the MANUAL button and set the time for 60 minutes.

When the 60 minutes has elapsed, you will do a quick release.

Remove the steak from the broth.

It's going to be SUPER tender, so it will fall a part a little.

Once you have removed all the steak from the instant pot, turn the setting to SAUTE.

Combine the cornstarch and water in a little measuring cup and pour into the broth.
Let simmer until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes.

Return the meat to the gravy.

Serve and Enjoy!

This baked steak is so tender and FULL of BIG flavor!  I know that I omitted the breading and frying process, and you traditionalist may come for me, but give this a try.  I GUARANTEE you won't miss it!  I like to served my Instant Pot Baked Steak with some creamy mashed potatoes and green beans.  In my opinion dinner just doesn't get any better than this!  I know you and yours are going to love this dish so get in the kitchen and make it TONIGHT!

And as always...

Happy Reading, Happy Eating, and Happy Crocktober,
