MONGOLIAN BARBEQUE RECIPES

Steps:

• Put peeled and quartered apples in the Instant Pot. Add all remaining ingredients, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 3 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked apples to a large-capacity blender or food processor.
• Process until smooth and uniform. Add additional pot juices 1/4 cup at a time to achieve desired consistency.
• Serve warm or cold with additional cinnamon and/or cinnamon sticks for garnish.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the Steak Mixture ingredients just until uniform. Do not overmix. Shape into 6 patties and let rest for at least 10 minutes for breadcrumbs to absorb flavor.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the Sauce Mixture ingredients.
• Add butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTÉ function.
• When butter melts, brown the steaks on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Meat may not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you will have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add onions and mushrooms to the pot and Sauté until onions begin to soften, 3-4 minutes.
• Add sauce mixture to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Layer the steaks back into to the pot on top of the vegetables.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 15 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Carefully remove the steaks from the pot to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil, reserving juices.
• In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and cold water. Stir into the pot until thickened, returning to SAUTÉ mode as needed. Adjust seasonings.
• Serve the steak topped with gravy over noodles, spaghetti squash or mashed potatoes.
