How to Make Instant Pot Steak and Mashed Potatoes

Ready for one of the best cube steak recipes? Let's get started!

Step #1: Start by adding McCormick Peppercorn & Garlic Marinade to the cube steak for the marinade.

Step #2: Top with red wine vinegar and turn the cube steaks over a couple times to incorporate spices and vinegar.

Step #3: Heat oil on sauté function and then brown meat on both sides before removing it from the Instant Pot.

Step #4: Deglaze the Instant Pot inner pot by adding water to the pot and scraping the bottom and sides of the pan clean to get all the browned bits into the liquid. Add cube steak back to the pan.

Step #5: Top with a steamer rack, adding potatoes and carrots on top of that.

Step #6: Set Instant Pot to high pressure for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes under pressure, use a Quick Pressure Release. Remove vegetables and meat and set Instant Pot back to sauté mode, adding in the gravy packet.

Step #7: While the gravy cooks, mash potatoes. After the gravy is ready and the potatoes are mashed, plate, serve, and enjoy!

FAQs

• Can my dog eat Cube Steak & Mashed Potatoes? It is safe to give your dog meat and potatoes. What you should take care of is the seasoning that you add to the portion that your pet would eat. Ingredients like garlic marinade, red wine vinegar, gravy, ranch seasoning, and milk are not suitable for your dog's health.
• Can my cat eat Cube Steak & Mashed Potatoes? This, like other recipes, must be modified to make it safe for your cat. Ideally, give the meat, potatoes, and carrots with a pinch of salt and without any other seasoning that could compromise the health of your beloved feline.
