Instant Pot Steak Rice Bowls – this post contains affiliate links.
You all know that my family is in love with rice. I make Instant Pot Mexican Rice once a week, because it complements just about any Mexican meal very well AND my kids love it! Did you know rice has protein? It does! So if one of the boys isn’t feeling the main meal, they can eat rice and maybe some beans or cheese and be good to go.
When going to a Mexican restaurant, one of us usually orders steak. Whether it be fajitas, burritos, or a steak bowl, it’s always a winning meal. For this recipe, I combined my Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice and a delicious steak from Butcher Box to make it super delicious. But, you could definitely use Mexican rice and chicken and it would be a different kind of delicious!

We also love using natural, unrefined sea salt and unrefined avocado oil. When you cook with the best, you will get the best flavor.

- Add about 2 tsp more oil in the bottom of the Instant Pot. (You can turn the IP off for a few minutes if you feel like it is too hot.)
- With the Instant Pot on saute’, add in rice.

I will admit that I only used this recipe to figure out how long to cook a steak in an instant pot. 12 minutes and it was so tender and easy to eat. I paired it with some roasted Brussels sprouts and biscuits. so good thanks for the help!

I'm so embarrassed to admit my Instant Pot is sitting in its box still! I really want to try it out - this looks easy enough for me to start with!
