Asian beef and rice is one of the most popular dishes. The combination is simple and satisfying, and it can be enjoyed any time of the day. You can use any type of beef, but flank steak is a good option as well because it’s a bit tender and has a lot of flavor. This recipe calls for stew meat (chuck meat).
If you love rice dishes, then you will love Instant Pot Asian Beef & Rice Recipe. It’s flavored with soy sauce and ginger, which are two ingredients that are staples in most Asian recipes. You can use brown rice or white rice to make this dish. I always use brown because I think it has more flavor than white rice plus it’s more nutritious.
There is quite a bit of variation when it comes to cooking rice in an Instant Pot because the correct settings and cooking times vary from one type of rice to another. Per the manufacturer, the “Rice” setting is intended for white or parboiled rice only. For the long-grain brown rice used in this recipe, use the “Manual” setting on high and set the cooking time to 22-25 minutes, “depending on your preferences and any local issues, like high elevation.”

This recipe suggests 22 minutes as the active cooking time, but feel free to extend this time if you prefer softer rice. In addition, this version includes a little more liquid than the 1:1 ratio recommended by the manufacturer to account for the added ingredients.
Tip: For best results, marinate the beef the night before for the meat to develop more flavor. Then pressure cooking the beef with the broth makes it so tender and delicious. Some variations of the dish include adding peas, carrots, or other vegetables. If you add peas and/or carrots, you might want to add them in after pressure cooking so they don’t get too soft.
