Tips for Instant pot Steak and Potatoes:

• I am using an 8 quart Instant pot but you can use a 6 quart if you prefer. Since purchasing an instant pot, it truly has changed meal time around here. I can pull together dinner in little to no time.
  
• No worries if you don’t have an instant pot, you can try our yummy Tangy Crock pot Steak Recipe.
  
• I recommend using  heavy duty foil for the potatoes. It is much sturdier than regular. If you don’t have heavy duty, double the regular foil.
  
• Feel free to substitute the round steak for any type of steak you can get on sale. We have used sirloin steaks before and it was yummy.
