    Steps to make

    Here are steps for cooking the Instant Pot cubed steak.

    1. Cut the cubed steak into smaller pieces.
    2. After cutting the cubed steak, toss the meat into a ziplock bag filled with flour giving it a nice flour dust on all sides of the meat. 
    3. Add oil to the Instant Pot. Cook steaks on the Sauté setting on each side until crust is brown and crispy (about 3 minutes a side).
    4. Set aside the steak.
    5. Deglaze the Instant Pot pan with some of the beef broth.
    6. Add onions and cook until tender.
    7. Return the steak to the Instant Pot.
    8. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 20 minutes on manual High setting.

    Note: If you want larger pieces of cube steak, you can fry them separately in a larger pan.

    However, if you are cooking everything in the Instant Pot (and why dirty another dish?) then you will cut the cube steak into smaller pieces when frying. The space around the meat to prevents touching and allows it to cook a crispy outer crust.
