Instructions

Add sliced steak and italian dressing mix and saute meat with vegetables for 2 minutes.
Pour in beef broth and stir one last time.
Hit CANCEL on your instant pot to shut off the saute feature.
Place lid on Instant pot with valve set to “sealing.”
Select PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL and set timer for 8 minutes.

How to turn this into a freezer meal:

Place olive oil, green bell pepper, onion, cut up steak, and Italian dressing mix into a gallon-sized freezer bag.

Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 90 days. When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1 1/4 cups beef broth in with the frozen food.

Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 25 minutes. Do a NATURAL RELEASE when the timer is done – I even like to let it sit in the Instant Pot for a few hours so that it falls apart so easily. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.

Questions & Reviews

Kp says:

This was so good! Had an eye of round roast that I cut thinly across the grain. Sooooooo tender! Thanks for an awesome and easy IP recipe.

fred lowry says:

Thie recipe states 1 1/4 beef broth. Are we to assume that this is "cups"?

Cyd says:

Yes, 1 1/4 cups beef broth. Thanks so much for catching that.

Margie Brown says:

Do you any vegan recipes

Koz says:

So I saw this on your video about forzen meals what's the cooking directions for that

Bailee says:

So good! I like to spread cream cheese on the hoagie as well as provolone! Such a yummy Philly cheesesteak

Jamie says:

Yes, I would like to see those instructions too

Ashley says:

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm prepping this tonight. What is the cook time from frozen?

Megan Mulholland says:

Also wondering the instructions for making once it’s frozen. Directions seem to be for making it fresh. Also wondering what directions would be for a slow cooker after frozen

Cyd says:

In the beef and broccoli video she sauteed the frozen beef until it was browned on the edges and thawed enough that it broke apart. But then just follow the recipe as directed. The beef will thaw during the saute cooking time. Hope this helps!

Mrs Mike says:

this was AMAZING. There is a video on the YouTube channel for freezing these ahead for those asking. I couldn't believe how great the flavor was and how tender (I know, it's an IP meal, I shouldn't be surprised!) this turned out. This is a definitely a new family favorite and since I can prep and freeze, it will be perfect on nights where I'm working late and need something fast. :)

Melissa says:

The video said 8 minutes in the instant pot for thin slices up to 15 minutes for thick slices. In the slow cooker on low for 4 hrs. Here is a link to the video, at 13:20 is the information they give. https://youtu.be/rHCA_nrVgZ0 Hope this helps.

Momma Cyd says:

The meat we used in the video was precooked. So it doesn't take as long too cook. If you purchase raw meat it will take a little longer.

Wendy says:

Loved the flavor, loved how tender the meat was—but my green pepper essentially disintegrated in the Instant Pot. Any suggestions how to avoid that? Maybe cut it into larger pieces?

Momma Cyd says:

Yes, just cut into larger pieces if you aren't trying to hide it from the kids!

Carol Kitchen says:

I love this recipe so much!!

Julia Q says:

This was SO good and SO easy!

Todd says:

For this particular recipe, if I'm making it a freezer meal, should I cook up the meat first or can I freeze it with the veggies raw?

Momma Cyd says:

Add the uncooked ingredients into your freezer bag.

Lauren says:

Hi! Your recipes are amazing! Please clarify something for me... In the video you're placing all the ingredient in the bag, including the beef broth, but the directions say to saute onion and pepper first, then add beef broth to the IP. If it's all together in a meal prep bag, and your're taking it from the freezer to the IP, how are you following those steps? Thank you!

Steph @ Six Sisters says:

A lot of the time when we're doing a cooking demo, it's hard for us to switch camera angles from our stoves back to our countertop for assembling, which is why we may alter recipes a little when we're live. You are welcome to saute the pepper and onion first, as directed, but it's not necessary, especially if you're sticking it in the freezer! Hopefully that answers your question!
