Instructions

  • Set your SAUTE setting to HIGH. Heat the oil and add the onion, ginger and garlic for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden.
  • Add star anise, cardamom pods, cinnamon, coriander, and peppercorns until fragrant.
  • Pour in broth, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and water. Stir together. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and press CANCEL to cancel the sauté option. Then make sure the lid is locked and the vent is sealed. Press the PRESSURE COOK option set to HIGH for 15 minutes. It will take about 15 minutes for it to press to start the 15 minute timer. Once the timer goes off, use the QUICK RELEASE.
  • While the Instant Pot is cooking, prepare your rice noodles according to the package.
  • Set a large bowl on the counter and then take a mesh strainer and line it with the cheese cloth. Using a ladle, ladle the broth into the mesh-lined strainer and allow it to catch all the seasonings, onion, ginger and cinnamon. Once the broth is strained, pour it back into the Instant Pot and turn the SAUTE setting back to HIGH.

This next step could be done in two different ways:

  • You can take your steak strips and layer them and your toppings on top of your rice noodles. Take your broth, which is now simmering in your Instant Pot and pour it over your steak and vegetables and watch them cook, while it’s in your bowl. These strips are thin and cook quickly and will still be very tender. The caution with this is that if you have the bowl too full, the meat may not cook to your liking or evenly.
  • I submerged my steak strips in my boiling broth, for 30 seconds – 1 minute, no more or it will overcook once you place it in the bowl. This allows the steak to cook consistently. Depending on how you like your steak, remove it after 30 seconds for it to be more rare to medium rare, and 45 seconds, 1 minute will be medium, medium well. Scoop it out and layer it in your bowl on top of your rice noodles. Turn your instant pot HOT. Then once you’ve arranged your vegetables, pour the broth on top.
  • Add sriracha or hoisin sauce to your liking, stir and enjoy!
