Instant Pot Mongolian Beef

  I am SO excited about this recipe!  For several reasons but mainly because it is adapted from the first recipe I ever blogged!  We absolutely LOVE making Chinese food at home.   My whole family said it was one of the best things they have ever eaten and I AGREE!  We absolutely LOVED IT!  I was blown away by how tender the meat was after only 12 minutes of pressure cooking.  It really is like magic!

You guys won’t believe how easy and yummy it is!  Give it a try and tell me what y’all think!
