Peanut butter and jelly . . . Laverne and Shirley . . . tweens and boy bands. These are classic combinations. But, let’s add another. Steak and mushrooms. The drippings from the steak add another dimension to these button mushrooms that is like no other. Simple. Quick. Delicious. It’s hard to tell the star of this dish!
• Hands-On Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 50 minutes
Serves 4
1 (2-pound) flank steak
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
1 slice bacon, diced
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
2 cups whole button mushrooms
11/2 cups beef broth
1 Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
2 Press the Sauté button on the Instant Pot® and heat 1 tablespoon oil. Sear meat on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove meat and set aside.
3 Add remaining oil to pot and sauté bacon, onions, and mushrooms 3–5 minutes until onions are translucent.
4 Add beef broth and deglaze the pot by stirring and scraping the bottom and sides of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Place meat on top of onions in pot. Lock lid. Press the Meat button and adjust time to 35 minutes. When timer beeps, let pressure release naturally until float valve drops and then unlock lid.
5 Transfer the meat to a serving platter. Let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice meat against the grain. Serve immediately with mushrooms, onions, and a few tablespoons of the liquid from the pot.
