Have you ever had the pleasure of cooking and eating Sirloin Flap Beef? It is a cut of beef that is becoming more mainstream with each passing year. The Sirloin Flap looks just like Waygu beef from Japan. So beautiful and highly marbled. Now, if you're not into fatty cuts of beef, no worries. This recipe does not end up fatty in the least. The fat renders perfectly in the Instant Pot. The first time I cooked Sirloin Flap in the Instant Pot, I was shocked.

The value of the “Instant Pot” is that it cooks food quicker than traditional cooking methods. For this recipe, we will be using the pressure cooker setting. When dealing with fattier cuts of meat, you’d think you'd need longer cooking times to render the fat. I can tell you that the fat renders beautifully and flavors the meat just like basting it as it cooks.

If you own an Instant Pot, you’ve probably cooked a pot roast at some point. Yet, it still takes a long time to braise low and slow. I can tell you that cooking Sirloin Flap in the Instant Pot under pressure is nothing short of amazing. The best part is that it only takes 25 minutes, plus the time it takes to pressurize the Instant Pot.

What Is Sirloin Steak?

Sirloin steak is a cut of beef taken from the cow's rear end, between the hip and the loin. It is a popular cut of meat for grilling and barbecuing, as it is relatively lean and full of flavor. The sirloin steak is also a good choice for those who are watching their fat intake, as it contains less fat than other cuts of beef.

How To Make Instant Pot Steak (Sirloin)

Important Reminder: Before placing the Sirloin Flap in the Instant Pot, ensure it is not ice cold right out of the refrigerator.

First, Season the Sirloin Flap. I like using Himalayan salt.

Himalayan salt has over 50 elements from the periodic table. A powerhouse of things your body needs and wants.

I suggest you convert to Himalayan salt. The second type of salt I like to use is sea salt. Then finally, Kocher salt (aka Chef Salt).

After salting the Sirloin Flap, our next step is to add some oil to the outside of the Sirloin Flap. This will help the dry rub stick.

The next step is adding oil to the Sirloin Flap steak to help the dry rub stick.

Add a generous amount of the dry rub or your favorite dry rub. Choose the one you like with Beef.

Place the roasting rack in the bottom of the instant pot—we do not want the liquid we are about to add to touch the sirloin flap while it cooks.

Add 1 ¼ cups of water—plus 3 tablespoons of soy sauce.

Meanwhile, as the Instant Pot is cooking, we will make a homemade Teriyaki sauce. mmm

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce Recipe:

Combine

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup sake
  • ⅓ cup mirin (rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon grated shallot

The key to getting the right Teriyaki sauce consistency is cooking the sauce on the stovetop. As the sauce heats, it will start to thicken.

When you know its safe to open the instant pot

Take note of the pressure indicator. When the Instant Pot is fully pressurized and not safe to open, you'll notice the gauge pushed outward.

NOT SAFE TO OPEN

Safe to Open: The pin has dropped.

Next, remove the Sirloin Flap from the Instant Pot and paint on some of the Teriyaki sauce.

The meat must rest before slicing in order to prevent the liquids from dripping out and the meat from drying out. This guideline must be applied to all beef cuts. It typically takes 5 to 10 minutes for 1-2-pound cuts to rest properly.

Slice Against The Grain For Maximum Tenderness.

Suggested Equipment

1 Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 to 2 pounds Sirloin Flap /source= Whole Foods
  • 2 teaspoon Himalayan Salt /or Sea Salt / enough to cover meat
  • 1 tablespoon BBQ Dry Rub / enough to cover meat
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Sake / Japanese Rice Wine
  • ⅓ cup Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon Shallot / fine minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger / fine minced
  • ⅓ cup Water

Instructions
 

  • First step: Take the meat out of the refrigerator and allow to come close to room temperature. 5 minutes. It's ok for the meat to have a slight chill when going into the Instant Pot.
    Salt the Sirloin Flap. Use enough to cover the entire piece of meat. I suggest using Himalayan Salt
    Then using a brush, paint on some oil like canola oil. This will help the seasoning stick. 
    Add the bbq dry rub. Add enough to cover the entire piece of meat. Allowing the meat to sit awhile with the dry rub on will help flavor the meat more.
  • Add 1 ¼ cups of water to the Instant Pot alongside 3+ tablespoons of soy sauce.

Instant Pot Cook Settings

  • Using the pressure cooker setting "Meat/Stew", Under normal heat, & set timer for 20 to 25 minutes. 20 minutes for more medium rare
    Set the instant pot for cooking sirloin flap
  • The Instant Pot will pressurize fairly quickly and the timer will start to count down.
  • Once the timer goes off, allow the vent valve to release the pressure. Quick release. You do not want to slow release or risk overcooking the meat. 
    After the Instant Pot lid is off. ( Safe to open the lid once the metal pressure indicator fails back into the Instant Pot -
    Sate to open the instant pot
  • Next paint of a nice coat of Teriyaki sauce. Do this quickly as the meat starts to rest a minimum of 5 minutes before slicing the Teriyaki sauce will soak into the meat adding great depth of flavor.
  • KEY: After resting the meat, slice "against" the grain for maximum tenderness.
