Instant Pot Italian Sliced Beef with Peppers and Onions
Instant Pot Italian Sliced Beef with Peppers and Onions is a great way to use that Pressure cooker to its fullest! We show you how to get a slow cooked, all day meal in less than an hour!

Slow cooked flavor in a flash!
I am the queen of failure to plan! Most nights I have good intentions of putting things out to prepare for supper the next night. Most mornings, those good intentions are long forgotten.
When my sweet Momma gave me my first Electric Pressure Cooker, I admit, I was a little afraid of it. It wasn’t long that I learned how much it would improve my cooking life.
I love to make simple things that give me trouble like, DEVILED EGGS and RICE. But where the Electric Pressure Cooker shines is with recipes that are normally slow cooked for hours at a time, like these BABY BACK RIBS and of course this recipe for Italian Sliced Beef I am about to share with you.
How to Make It
I love my crock pot because you can just dump the ingredients in, set it and come back in 4-8 hours and your meal is ready. This is a lot like that, only much quicker! The cook time will be a bit more than the 40 minutes as we do have to wait for it to come to and release pressure.
~Ingredients
- ½ whole, sliced Onion
- 1 whole, sliced Green Bell Pepper
- 1-2 pounds, sliced Bottom Round Beef Steak or chuck roast, sliced
- to taste Salt and Pepper
- 2 cubes Beef Bouillon
- 1 package Dry Italian Seasoning Mix
- 1 cup Water
~Method
- Prep all ingredients.
- Add the meat in the pressure cooker first, then, add the veggies.
- Sprinkle seasoning on top, add water. Seal and set manually to 40 minutes on high pressure.
- Allow the pressure to naturally release and serve!

Why Brooke loves this recipe!
Recipes are like antiques. They are meant to be handed down from one generation to another. Each one holding a special memory or nostalgic memory. Here is why we love this one!
When it comes to my instant pot, I have lots of reasons to love this great recipe. You get a full meal that you can use a half a dozen ways and make small changes to make it taste different every time. What’s not to love?
Tips and Tricks
Yes! I like the bottom round steak because it is cost effective. However, any non fatty cut of tender beef will work very well, just slice it thin. On the veggies, the best ones are the ones you have on hand. We think adding perreroncini peppers would be a great addition! Get Creative!
Powdered Ranch seasoning before and it is very good too. I love to always just get your wheels turning and get you cooking. I would say any seasoning that you think would go well with beef and compliment its flavor.
Yes! Strain the pan drippings and add them back to the pot. Add in a little flour and butter. Bring to a boil and whisk until it reaches the desired thickness.
This is a very versatile recipe. It is great alone for a low carb meal or paired with some cauliflower rice. It is also good for the carb lover and is great served over mashed potatoes or regular rice. Another great way is as a Philly Steak sandwich!
🍴 PRO TIP!
One of my family’s favorites for me to make in the Instant Pot is Philly cheesesteaks. I use this recipe for those. Along with beautiful sourdough rolls and decadent provolone cheese slices. This dish, however, can be used any number of ways. it is versatile enough to be served even alone over brown or white rice. Like most all of my recipes, you can double it to feed more people. This is for my little family unit of 4.
For cheesesteaks, pile the meat and veggies on a toasted roll and add a slice of cheese. We like provolone. It’s a good compliment to the beef. Place under the broiler for a few minutes to melt the cheese. So, So, So, Soooooo good! Use the sauce to pour over, or for dipping.
