Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds flank steak

- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh tortillas (flour or corn)
- Fresh cilantro

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients on your counter. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
- Turn on your Instant Pot and select the sauté function. Add a drizzle of oil. Season both sides of the flank steak with taco seasoning. Sear for about 3 minutes per side until browned.
- Remove the steak and set aside. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return the flank steak to the pot along with beef broth. Lock the lid and cook at high pressure for about 45 minutes.
