Ingredients

  • 2 sirloin steaks 1-inch thick
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup red wine
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 rosemary sprig
  • ½ teaspoon thyme leaves
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Pat the steaks dry and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Press the Saute button on the Instant Pot. Heat the oil, then sear the steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer the steaks to a plate and set aside.
  • Melt the butter, add the onion, and saute for 3-4 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add the wine and deglaze the pot, then allow the wine to reduce for 2 minutes. Press the Cancel button. 
  • Add the beef stock, rosemary, and thyme, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Nestle the steaks in the sauce. Secure and seal the lid and cook on Manual High for 2-5 minutes (depending on the size of your steak and desired doneness). Perform a Quick Pressure Release when the timer is done.
  • Carefully remove the lid and transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest. Press Saute, whisk in the cream and allow the sauce to thicken for 3-5 minutes. Season to taste, then serve with the steaks.

Notes

How To Cook Frozen Steak in the Instant Pot:

If you absolutely HAVE to cook a frozen steak in the Instant Pot, skip the sear, do steps 3-5 (adding extra salt and pepper), and cook them for 17 minutes with a quick pressure release.
But I recommend cooking them from thawed for the best flavor and tenderness.
