Instructions
Using kitchen sheers or a sharp knife, cut the steak into thin strips, 1-2 inches long. Place the meat into a gallon size Ziploc bag or a bowl with an airtight lid.
Add all of the seasonings directly onto the steak, close the bag tightly and mix around to evenly coat each piece. If time permits- refrigerate for at least one hour.
Turn pressure cooker to saute method. Add vegetable oil and heat for 5 minutes. Slowly add in steak in one even layer, and saute for about 1-2 minutes per side.
While steak is sauteeing, mix corn starch and water to create a slurry. Pour the cornstarch slurry over the seared meat. Turn the pressure cooker onto "pressure cook" for 10 minutes.
After the 10 minutes of pressure cook, carefully open the lid and add the sliced bell pepper and onions.
Close the lid and set to "pressure cook" for an additional 5 minutes.
White Rice
Rinse the rice in cold water either in a pot or a fine mesh strainer, ensuring to mix it by hand for thorough cleaning.
Continue rinsing until the water runs clear, removing starch and preventing stickiness. Then add the rinsed rice to a medium saucepan and pour in water or broth for added flavor.
Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat, then cover and simmer on low for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
Let the rice sit off the heat with the lid on for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork to separate the grains.
