Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak thinly sliced (or skirt steak)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
- Mix the soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to create the marinade.
- Place the sliced steak in a resealable plastic bag or casserole dish and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
- Optional: Select the "Sauté" function on the Instant Pot. Heat vegetable oil and add marinated steak in batches to the Instant Pot and brown slightly. After browning the steak, add about 2 tablespoons of water to the Instant Pot and scrape the bottom to remove any cooked-on pieces.
- Return all of the steak and remaining marinade to the Instant Pot.
- Secure the lid, set the Instant Pot to "Pressure Cook" on high, and cook for 10 minutes. Once done, perform a quick release of pressure.
