Directions

• With the cooker’s lid off, turn your Insta Pot to Saute/High and add avocado oil.
• While oil is heating up, instead cloves into onion slices so they will be easier to remove later.
• Add onion and ginger root to the oil and saute until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir often.
• Season cubed beef roast or short ribs with salt and pepper.
• Add seasoned beef to the pot and brown the meat on all sides.
• Add beef broth to deglaze the pot.
• Stir in water, cinnamon sticks, and whole star anise to the pot.
• Put the lid onto your Insta Pot and lock in place.
• Select the Meat/Stew button on the Insta Pot and set timer for 40 minutes.
• Allow the cooker to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes before doing a quick release.
• Remove cooker’s lid and stir in fish sauce.
• Remove spices, onion slices, and bones (if any). Strain broth through cheesecloth or fine strainer.
• If there is excess fat/oil, you can skim it off now.
• Cook your rice noodles to package directions and drain. Set aside.
• Divide noodles amount 4-6 serving bowls.
• Top with sirloin steak, cilantro, and basil.
• Ladle hot broth over the noodles.
• Allow to sit for 1-2 minutes, until the beef is partially cooked and no longer pink.
• Serve with bean sprouts, additional Thai basil, cilantro, lime wedges, sliced jalapeños, Hoisin, and/or Chile sauce on the side.
