How Long to Cook Beef Cutlets Instant Pot

Instant Pot cube steak with potatoes and mushrooms cooked in a flavorful gravy. This cube steak recipe is a dump and start meal that you can quickly and easily make in your Instant Pot, and the flavors are top-notch!

My husband loves steak, and we always either pan fry it or make in the Air Fryer. But we recently decided to try making cube steak in the Instant Pot, and we loved it because you can cook the whole meal in the IP, and not just the steak. Which means that we cook the steak along with the potatoes, mushrooms, and delicious gravy. Saves so much time and effort!

This cube steak meal is perfect for a mid-week dinner as it's a dump and start recipe, requires very few ingredients, and there are no extra steps to make this truly delicious!

Instant Pot Cube Steak Ingredients

• Cubed steak – either buy cubed steak, or cube it at home using a meat tenderizer.
• Potatoes – I usually go for baby potatoes, but you can use larger potatoes and cut them in rings or wedges.
• Mushrooms – Chesnut or button mushrooms work.
• Onion – Sliced into half-moons, great for the gravy!
• Beef stock – I use store-bought.
• Cayenne pepper – for that lovely heat kick!
• Salt and pepper.

You will also need:

• AnInstant Pot obviously (this is the one that I have and love!)
• Kitchen tongs .
• Sharp knife. This is the knife that I use all the time, a sharp knife is so important and if you want to invest in a new knife then a high-quality chef knife is what I recommend. This one is also currently on sale and well worth the money.

How to cook cube steak in the Instant Pot?

1. Coat the bottom of the Instant Pot with vegetable oil (this is optional but to prevent the BURN message from appearing).
2. Add the cube steak, and season it. Feel free to layer the steak slices, but season them all.
3. Add potatoes, mushrooms, sliced onion, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. And finally the beef stock or broth.
4. Cover with the lid, and make sure that the vent is set on the SEALING position. Press on MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK on high pressure, and set the cooking time for 20 minutes. Allow the pressure cooker to come to pressure (this will take around 10 minutes).
5. When the time is up, quickly release the steam. To plate, take the steak out, as long as the veggies. The steak will be perfectly cooked and tender, and the veggies will be perfect as long as you don't slice the mushrooms too thin.
6. You will be left with the liquids at the pot, you can thicken the gravy by pressing on SAUTE and adding 1-2 tbsp of corn starch slurry (see notes), and mixing until the gravy is thickened.

Serve with extra onion gravy from the pot, and fresh chopped herbs (I use parsley).

How to make onion gravy?

• Make a cornstarch slurry, by mixing 1-2 tbsp of corn starch with 1 tbsp of water.
• Then add it to the sauce that you would like to thicken. Keep mixing while it's being heated, until it thickens.
• I usually start with 1 tbsp of cornstarch and then add more if needed.
• If you accidentally thicken the gravy too much, just loosen it up with a little bit of water.

Skip the veggies, and serve with one of these sides

• Instant Pot mashed potatoes
• Instant Pot basmati rice
• Instant Pot buttered potatoes
• Instant Pot garlic green beans
• Instant Pot Cheesy scalloped potatoes
