Instant Pot Ribeye Steak cooked to tender, juicy, and tasty perfection! This pressure cooker steak is a quick and easy way to enjoy your favorite meat without firing up the grill.

Ribeye steaks, like hamburgers, are not something you’d normally make in an Instant Pot. The common way to cook them is, of course, on a hot grill or in a hot skillet, but when you live in Texas like me and the weather has been consistently above 100 F the last two weeks, tending a hot grill or a hot skillet is out of the question.

Before I go on about how much I love pressure cooker steaks, let me just say, if you prefer rare, this recipe might not be for you. You can still use the Instant Pot but only the SAUTE function and no pressure cooking needed.

But if you’re more on the side of well-done, I promise the Instant Pot is one, if not the best way to cook steaks. It delivers tender, juicy, and oh so flavorful beef to the last bite in thirty minutes!

Ingredients

  • Ribeye steaks-about 1-inch thick
  • canola oil-for searing
  • Montreal Steak Seasoning-or your preferred steak seasoning
  • water- one cup to deglaze and for the Instant Pot to come to pressure

Cooking tips

  • After searing the meat using the SAUTE function, make sure to deglaze the pot to prevent a BURN error notice. Add the water and scrape the bottom of the pot insert before setting up the trivet.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness as well as the desired doneness. The two ribeye steaks used in the recipe were about 1 pound and cooked for 20 minutes to well-done.
  • Allow the steaks to slightly cool before removing from the Instant Pot. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing for the juices to redistribute.
  • Use the liquid in the pot as the sauce! Swap the water with beef broth for more flavor and after the pressure cooking, thicken with cornstarch to a gravy using the SAUTE feature.

How to serve

  • Instant Pot ribeyes are great for a protein-packed lunch or dinner meal! Boost the flavor with steak sauce or make a gravy out of the broth in the pot.
  • Serve immediately with baked potatoes, rice, or mashed cauliflower and your favorite tossed salad or roasted veggies.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

    Love the fact you made it clear its not the preferred method to cooking steak! I also love, love, love that you used Montreal steak seasoning, I use it in many of my dishes & never buy less than a huge container of it. Although its getting harder to find in Grocery stores in the large size.
    I was actually trying to find recipe ideas to steak & shrimp using the IP, BUT WAS SUPER GLAD TO FIND THIS

    Sounds interesting, but who cooks ribeye, the most fatty steak, to well done? How long do I pressure cook to get medium rare?

    This looks great but when you say trivet do you mean the metal rack that comes with the instant pot? 🙂

    I took some potatoes and sliced them in long steak fries and put them in the bottom of the pot in the cooking broth. Then I used the tall trivet and put the steaks on top. It’s got 2 minutes to finish pressure and then the natural release. I can’t wait to see how it came out!

      I also agree. My guess for medium rare was half your cooking time: 5 minutes. I’ll have to try again, because I had to do something, told my husband that it had one more minute and it would be done. He forgot all about it and when I returned, it had been on warm for 9 minutes. It ended up a good medium. I’ll try the 5 minutes again and make sure it is removed immediately.

      I knocked off a star for not providing instructions for medium rare, medium, medium well, and well done.
