Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lbs sirloin steak for tougher cuts like chuck steak, see notes
- 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Season steak with salt and pepper. In the Instant Pot on sauté setting, heat olive oil and sear steaks for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic until soft. Add beef broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits.
- Return steaks to the pot and add Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Seal the lid, cook on high pressure for 20 minutes, then allow 10 minutes natural pressure release.
- Remove steaks. Set Instant Pot to sauté.
- Melt butter in the liquid, then add cornstarch slurry (mix cornstarch with water) to thicken the sauce, stirring constantly until it reaches desired consistency. Adjust seasoning if needed.
