Easy Instant Pot Carne Asada
Juicy, tender carne asada with just 10 minutes of prep time made in the instant pot!
Ingredients
- 1.5 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 T brown sugar packed
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 onion diced
- 1 lime
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 lb flank steak whole or sliced
Instructions
- First, combine the chili powder, cumin, salt and brown sugar in a medium sized bowl.
- Add garlic, onion, juice from the lime and the broth and whisk.
- Place your steak into a sealable bag or a container and pour the marinade mixture over it.
- Allow your steak to marinate for at least 1-2 hours before cooking, ideally. You can marinate this up to 24 hours.
- When ready to cook first place your steak into the Instant Pot and then pour in the marinade on top.
- Pressure cooke the steak on high for 60 minutes and allow to naturally pressure release.
- When it's done remove from the Instant Pot and slice thinly.
- Enjoy as tacos, taco salads, burrito bowls, on nachos, etc!
Notes
Steak: Flank or skirt steak work best. No need to buy a "higher quality" piece of meat as the pressure cooker makes more affordable meats nice and tender! I've used both sliced steak and whole. Both work, the sliced will be more tender.
Marinating: I highly recommend allowing this to sit for a few hours at least, but if you're in a pinch and don't have time it will still work, it just won't be as flavorful.
