Ingredients

2 steaks 2-inch thickness * See notes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup water

Instructions

Season the steak with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper on all sides.
Heat the olive oil and butter in an Instant Pot. Once the oil is sizzling, sear the steak on all sides until browned, around one minute.
Remove the steak from the Instant Pot and pour in the water.
Place a trivet inside and place the steaks on it. Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high for 3 minutes for a medium-rare steak (130F). For medium, aim for 4 minutes (135F); for medium-well done, aim for 5 minutes (145F); and for well done, cook for 6 minutes (150F). These temperatures take into consideration the 5 minute rest time.
Release the pressure from the Instant Pot and remove the steaks. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Other steak options: Ribeye, flank, and skirt steaks are all good options. Whichever you choose, make sure they’re at least 2 inches thick.

Leftovers: Cool, cover, then refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.

Reheating: I like to reheat the steak in a skillet with one tablespoon of water or in the oven at 350°F.
