How to Make Instant Pot Bulgogi

Instant Pot Bulgogi

The good news is that this recipe is not overly complicated to put together. It is a delicious and flavorful recipe, created in what seems like no time, thanks to the Instant Pot.

Instant Pot Bulgogi

  • To get started with this recipe you will need one pound of thin cut steak. You do not need to use an expensive cut of steak for this recipe. We like to use sirloin or chuck, but strip will also work.
  • Slice your steak against the grain, making sure that the slices are ½ an inch thick.
  • Preheat your Instant Pot on the Saute-High function. Once it is hot, add in your olive oil.
  • Add half of your steak at a time and cook for about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the cooked steak to a plate, set aside and repeat the above step with the remaining steak.
  • Once all of your steak is properly browned, add it back to the Instant Pot.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together your soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cornstarch and sriracha.
  • Add the sauce mixture to the Instant Pot and stir well to combine.
  • Attach the lid to your Instant Pot and make sure that the valve is in the sealing position. Cook on the pressure cook normal setting for 8 minutes.
  • Release the pressure by switching the valve to the venting position.
  • Set your Instant pot to the sauté function and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has reached the desired thickness.
  • Serve over freshly cooked rice and garnish with green onion or parsley.

What do I Serve with Instant Pot Bulgogi?

Instant Pot Bulgogi

We love to serve this recipe over top of freshly cooked rice. We like to use short grain rice as it is heartier and thicker than long grain and pairs well with this bulgogi. We also like to top it with freshly chopped green onion as a garnish.

  • Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the “sealing” position. Cook on the Pressure Cook-Normal setting for 8 minutes.

Notes

You don’t need to use an expensive cut of steak in this recipe-- I used top sirloin but chuck or strip would also work.
Mirin is optional but helps give a nice sweetness and acidity to the bulgolgi. It’s available on the international aisle of most grocery stores.
