Guys if you haven't cooked steak or beef in your Instant Pot yet. DO IT!

One of my biggest beefs about beef (lol) is that it can dry out easily, but not when you pressure cook it. It gets nice and tender and juicy and oh so good.

Cooking big chunks of steak in the Instant Pot is one of my favorite ways to cook it! It just makes so much sense!

Healthy Steak & Peppers

This recipe combines sliced bell peppers, onions, garlic, ginger and a simple Asian sauce that goes on top.

Served with cauliflower rice for a lighter and more nutrient dense meal. Don't love cauliflower? Don't worry! I mix cauliflower rice and brown rice together and my picky boyfriend doesn't even notice it's there!

What You Need

  • Steak (I buy mine from Butcherbox)
  • Red & Green Bell Peppers
  • Onion

  • Rice Wine Vinegar
  • Sriracha
  • Garlic, Ginger
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Green Onion
  • Frozen Cauliflower Rice

How To Make Steak & Peppers in an Instant Pot

Slice the bell peppers, onions, chop the meat and toss it in an Instant Pot. A 7-quart pot is what I used! Then add the sauce, garlic, ginger, black pepper, cover the pot and set to steam for 3 minutes!

Yep, it's that quick guys! Just remember the pot will take time to pressurize. Mind took about 10 minutes which is still quick for a healthy meal from scratch.

Once the pot is done, release the valve, let the steam come out, uncover and stir in the cauliflower rice.

I prefer using frozen cauliflower rice in my recipes as it doesn't have a stinky flavor. I simply thaw and drain before adding to the recipe.

How To Make Steak & Peppers in a Slow Cooker

To make healthy steak and peppers in a slow cooker, simply follow the same method as the Instant Pot.

The difference will be in the cook time. You can either cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours. Once it's cooked, add the cauliflower rice then serve garnished with the sesame seeds and green onions.

Hope you enjoy this goodie!
