How to Cut Flank Steak for Teriyaki Beef Noodles

Let’s start by talking about how to cut your flank steak. This is CRUCIAL to being able to chew through your steak. Look at the steak and notice the way the grain is running (it will look like lines in the steak). It is most likely running from end to end, lengthwise.

First, cut the flank steak in half WITH the grain. This will give you two long pieces of steak. Then you will want to cut it into smaller strips ACROSS the grain, this is the most important part. (If you reverse these steps, you will never be able to chew through your steak!)

See the picture below for example:

How to Make Teriyaki Beef Noodles in the Instant Pot

Set your Instant Pot to saute mode, once it reads HOT, add a little oil to the pot and brown the flank steak strips in 2-3 batches, so as not to crowd the pot.

Deglaze the hot, empty pot by pouring all the water in and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom (keep them in there, that is flavor!). Turn off saute mode.

Add the rice noodles to the pot. I use the Thai Kitchen Rice Noodles- see below:

Lightly shake the noodles into the water in the pot. Make sure not to press the noodles too hard, you do not want them to burn to the bottom of the pot. Lightly place the browned flank steak on top of the noodles, and pour the entire bottle of Insta-Meal Sweet & Spicy Teriyaki sauce over the flank steak and noodles.

Place the lid on the pot and lock the pressure valve to “seal”, set to cook on pressure mode, on high, for 10 minutes.

After the cooking time do a quick release of pressure.

Quickly remove the lid and add in the veggies (peppers, green onions, zucchini, and water chestnuts). Give the noodles, beef, and veggies a stir and place the lid back on, turn the pressure valve to seal again. You are simply going to soften all the veggies with the remaining heat in the pot. You will NOT turn your pot back on at this point. Keep the lid on for 5-7 minutes. You may need to do another small pressure release before opening the pot again.

If the sauce thickened too much you can add a little water at a time until it is the consistency you like. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro and serve!
