How Long to Cook London Broil in Instant Pot
Whether you’re an experienced chef or a new Instant Pot cook, learning how to cook London Broil in an instant pot can be both simple and delicious. London Broil is a type of beef steak that is typically tougher and less expensive than its more tender counterparts, such as ribeye and Porterhouse. Fortunately, the Instant Pot is an efficient way to quickly and evenly cook London Broil to a juicy tenderness.
Preparing the London Broil for the Instant Pot
For best results, it is important to prepare the London Broil before cooking it in the Instant Pot. The process is simple and requires few ingredients:
- Season: Sprinkle the London Broil with desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and/or olive oil.
- Sear: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive to the pan. When the oil is hot, add the London Broil and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Marinade (optional): You can also prepare the London Broil by marinading it in a mixture of favorite seasonings and sauces for 4-24 hours ahead of time.
Cooking the London Broil in the Instant Pot
Once the London Broil is prepared, place it in the Instant Pot. Pour 1 cup of broth or white cooking wine into the cooker, add 1 teaspoon of dried herbs, and top with 1 tablespoon of butter for additional flavor.
Secure the lid and press the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” button, and set the timer to 13 minutes. Once the timer goes off, quick-release the steam and open the lid. Use a meat thermometer to test the internal temperature and cook the steak for an additional 2-3 minutes if needed.
Finishing the London Broil in the Instant Pot
Once the London Broil has reached an internal temperature of 150°F, remove from the Instant Pot and let it rest for 5 minutes. This will allow the steak to finish cooking and the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Slice the steak against the grain and serve over a bed of fresh greens or with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
Conclusion
