15-Minute Instant Pot Mongolian Beef (Easy Pressure Cooker Recipe)

One of the best beef dinners that I have ever had in my entire life was at a local Mongolian restaurant a few years ago. For the longest time, I tried my hand at making my own Mongolian beef but I could never seem to get it right. Then one day I happened to stumble upon this 15-minute instant pot Mongolian beef and it quickly became one of my go-to recipes for beef. It doesn’t get much easier than this to make an authentic Mongolian beef dish, especially since most, if not all, of the the ingredients are probably already sitting in your kitchen.
