One of the great things about cooking with an Instant Pot is that it can speed up the cooking time for many recipes.

This is especially true when cooking frozen steak. In most cases, the frozen steak will cook in about the same amount of time as thawed steak

However, there are a few factors that can affect cooking time. The thickness of the steak, the type of meat, and the desired level of doneness all play a role in determining the cooking time.

How do I know when the steak is done?

One of the most important things to consider when cooking steak is doneness. This refers to how cooked the meat is and can range from rare to well-done.

The best way to check doneness is to use a meat thermometer.

  • For a rare steak, insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat and look for a temperature of 130°F.
  • For a medium-rare steak, cook until the thermometer registers 135°F.
  • For a medium steak, aim for 145°F. And for a well-done steak, cook until the thermometer reads 160°F.

Remember that the steak will continue to cook even after you’ve removed it from the heat.

Can I add or replace some ingredients?

Yes, you can definitely add or replace some of the ingredients in this recipe.

For example, you can omit garlic if you don’t have garlic. Or, if you want to add more flavor, you can replace the water with beef broth.
