Use a good quality steak
Let steak sear undisturbed on each side for at least 1-2 minutes.
Remember to deglaze the instant pot after searing so as to avoid burn error when pressure cooking.
Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting into it.
Top steak with garlic butter mix as soon as you take the steak out of the instant pot so it can melt into the steak and collect with the juice.
