Pressure Cooker Chinese Pepper SteakDo you love pepper steak at restaurants? Well this pressure cooker Chinese pepper steak is really easy to make and done in NO time at all. There’s nothing like making a healthy Instant Pot recipe in under 30 minutes that your whole family will enjoy.

  • You can make this in your Crockpot Express or Ninja Foodi too. Any brand will work!

The beef is tender, packed with flavor, and it’s full of fresh vegetables too. Add as many as you’d like really. a fresh tomato and red bell peppers were used this time.

It is easiest if you do all the prep work beforehand, but that doesn’t take long. You could put the meat and marinade in a freezer bag and put into the fridge overnight too if you wanted. 

This would create a really intense flavor since the steak would absorb the sauce. That is totally up to you but that would require you to think about dinner the night before.

What is Chinese pepper?

  • Sichuan pepper is a spice in Chinese cuisine that is commonly used in the Sichuan cuisine The pericarp is most often used. The leaves of various species are also used in some regions of China. 

You can use regular pepper if you prefer, that is what we feature in this recipe to make it easier.

    Made this in my ninja foodi and the water message came on. Should you add more water or broth in the beginning It seamed to be a little to browned on the bottom. Not quite burnt but almost Add broth and stired it around fixed it

      Did you saute the meat first? If so you’d need to deglaze your pot after that to avoid that message.
