A traditionally low-and-slow meal comes together very quickly thanks to the InstantPot pressure cooker… Many people are big InstantPot fans! Flank steak is a tough cut of meat which possesses a different amino acid profile than the more often consumed muscle meats. Eating a variety of meat cuts is key to optimal health! Topping it off, the tangy, crisp relish pairs perfectly with the rich and smoky meat.
