Pressure Cooker Beef Pho – Make one of your favorite Vietnamese rice noodle soup dishes in half the time using your Instant Pot! You’ve got to try this delicious and easy beef pho recipe!

Pressure Cooker Beef Pho in the Instant Pot

In the winter time, there’s nothing I love more than a big bowl of Vietnamese Pho! There’s something so incredibly comforting about the hot, flavorful broth, rice noodles and fresh toppings. Pho usually requires blanching beef bones and then simmering them with spices for hours… But who has time for that? I got together with Jonny Hunter, along with our Breville pressure cookers, and we went to work!

Pressure Cooker Beef Pho the Instant Pot

THE EASIEST PRESSURE COOKER BEEF PHO

This recipe uses less water and less energy than traditional pho, and produces a clearer broth. You’ll love how the fresh ingredients perfectly pair together to create this satisfying soup!

HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THE INSANT POT BROTH

  • Garlic
  • Yellow onion
  • Fresh ginger
  • Star anise
  • Cinnamon stick
  • Whole clove
  • Water
  • Beef bones
  • Beef shank – cross cut
  • Fine sea salt
  • Lime

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SERVE PRESSURE COOKER BEEF PHO

  • Sirloin steak – either round eye or London broil, thinly sliced
  • Fresh rice noodles – banh pho
  • Scallions – finely diced
  • Chili peppers – your choice of Thai bird, serrano, or jalapeno
  • Lime wedges
  • Fresh bean sprouts
  • Fresh herbs – cilantro, basil, Thai basil, mint, or your favorite mix!
  • Sriracha – or other favorite hot sauce
  • Hoisin sauce

The Best Beef Pho

HOW TO MAKE PRESSURE COOKER BEEF PHO

1. Prepare the broth: We started by blackening (or charring) the garlic, onion and ginger. These go into the pressure cooker, along with star anise, cinnamon and cloves which are toasted using the sauté function, and help to develop the rich taste and flavor of the broth. Water, bones, beef, salt and lime go in, and then you simply cook on high pressure for 30 minutes!

2.  After cooking, allow pressure to decrease naturally, about 15 to 20 minutes. When that is done, carefully open your pressure cooker.

3. Strain the broth into a pot through a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or muslin. Skim the fat from the broth; you should have about 5 cups of broth.

4. To serve the pho: Pour the broth back into your pressure cooker and immediately add the thinly sliced sirloin steak and rice noodles. Let cook for just a few minutes. Serve beef pho with fresh garnishes – bean sprouts, herbs, chili peppers, and lime – and Sriracha and hoisin sauce, if desired.

We hope you give this recipe a try! It’s delicious!
