Instant Pot Korean Beef
This post may contain affiliate links. Please see our privacy policy for details.
The best and easiest Korean beef you will ever make in the pressure cooker. 10 min prep or less! And the meat comes out amazingly flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth tender!
And we’re headed to Thailand!
It’s literally a 2-day journey to get there so I will be off the radar.
Catching up on How to Get Away with Murder Season 4 and maybe watching Lion again.
I have a thing for sobbing profusely on planes. It’s weird, I know.
But, before I leave, I have this.
It’s one of my favorite Korean beef recipes ever made in the IP.
See, I promised you guys more Instant Pot recipes, didn’t I?
It’s just 10 min prep, or less. And there’s no searing, no sautéing.
And the meat is amazingly tender, melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
Just be sure to serve over rice with your chunky sweater on.
It’ll taste better with your winter sweater on.
I promise.

I have a 30 year old “Presto” Brand pressure cooker, that is in perfect condition!. Could this recipe work using this kind of pressure cooker? If so, what heat setting should I use on my stove, and should the “rocking top” rock fast or a slow easy speed? Thanks
Unfortunately, these recipes have only been tested in an Instant Pot so I cannot say with certainty.
Thank you for more instant pot recipes. I’d love for you to put a book together on just IP recipes. Love your current book so much my pages are starting to tear!
Can’t wait to make this
I make your Korean beef recipe for the slow cooker, and it’s been one of my family’s favorites for sooolong now =)
I don’t know anything about these instant pots, do you recommend?
Yes, I highly recommend! I am obsessed with mine!
Looks great! Any idea what the nutritional values would be for a serving of this?
Nutritional information is actually provided only for select and new recipes at this time. However, if it is not available for a specific recipe, I recommend using free online resources at your discretion (you can Google “nutritional calculator”) to obtain such information. Hope that helps!
Could this be made in a crockpot, oven, or simmered on stove top? I do not have an IP.

What kind of instant pot do you have. I have a family of 6 growing teenagers. There has been an explosion about instant pots and I am hoping to get a bit of information before making the purchase. Thanks for any help you can offer. I love, love your recipes!!
I have a 6-qt Instant Pot.
You might want to get the 8 qt!
Also, no actual “explosions” with Instant Pots! Unless you count an explosion of interest, or an explosion of happy cooks, or an explosion of happy people eating meals made with their wonderful Instant Pot! I have a 6qt Instant Pot Smart and, between my husband and me, it is used nearly every day. I used to have a stovetop pressure cooker, but that one scared me a little (which I think was irrational, but still….) However, I love, love, love my Instant Pot and I think every working person needs one in their life! Lots and lots of Instant Pot groups on Facebook to ask questions, and you can google lots of recipes.
Yes, we all realize there weren’t any actual explosions. However we loved this recipe in our IP also.
Thank you for doing more IP recipes!!
This looks amazing! I totally need this in my life!

Thanks for the crock pot suggestion. Love that.
I don’t have a “Instant Pot” and do not plan to get one. Thanks again.
Thank you! Love your recipes. I hope you rock Thailand!
Ha … I read something recently that the air pressure up in the sky or whatnot, when on planes, leaves us more susceptible to crying. Probably wasn’t the best idea for me to watch Goodbye, Christopher Robin on my last flight … Lion is really good though as is HTGAWM.
And I need to get an Instant Pot!
