For an even richer flavor, consider searing the flank steak in rendered bacon fat instead of avocado oil. If you prefer a thicker gravy, increase the amount of flour in the slurry. Conversely, for a thinner gravy, use less flour. A splash of balsamic vinegar added at the end can brighten the flavors and add a touch of acidity.

Follow The Directions
01
StepEngage the Sauté function on your multi-functional pressure cooker (like an Instant Pot). Brown the steak pieces in batches until a rich sear develops, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
02
StepAdd avocado oil to the pot. Sauté the mushrooms and onion until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the grated garlic and thyme, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping up any browned bits and cooking until the wine is almost completely reduced, around 2 minutes.
03
StepPour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Return the steak to the pot, ensuring it's coated in the broth. Select the Meat setting, secure the lid, and set the timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.
04
StepAllow the pressure to release naturally for at least 20 minutes, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer the steak to a separate plate.
05
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together water and flour to create a slurry. Switch back to the Sauté function and gradually add the slurry to the broth in the pot. Cook, stirring continuously, until the liquid thickens into a gravy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
06
StepUsing two forks, shred the steak into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded steak to the pot and toss to coat it thoroughly in the luscious gravy. Serve immediately.
