Instructions

Cook the Korean Beef on manual, high pressure for 35 minutes. When it's done, do a quick pressure release. Shred the meat if desired to use in burritos, I leave it as is for bowls!
- Burrito: to make a burrito, spread sriracha mayo on a warm flour tortilla, top with cooked rice, shredded meat, lettuce leaves, kimchi, chopped peanuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
- Bowls: to make a bowl, add cooked rice to your bowl, along with the prepared meat, kimchi, chopped peanuts, cilantro, a fried or half boiled egg. Sprinkled with scallions or toasted sesame seeds!
Notes
- The stew meat can also be replaced with a trimmed chuck roast or top sirloin cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes. Keep in mind, using a different it of meat may change the cooking time slightly.
- To make your own sriracha mayo: combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2-3 tablespoons sriracha sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a bowl and stir until completely mixed. Use immediately or refrigerate until needed. Will last about 5 days in the refrigerator.
