Instructions

Add beef, soy sauce, water, garlic, ginger and chili flakes into Instant Pot.
If making pot-in-pot rice: add water and rice into a pot-in-pot dish and cover. Place a long legged trivet into the Instant Pot and then place the rice dish on top of the trivet.
Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 20 minutes. When time is up let pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and carefully remove the rice pan and trivet and set aside.
Stir in the honey. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. Thicken the sauce by making a cornstarch slurry. Stir together 2-3 Tbsp of cornstarch with 4 Tbsp of water. Stir the mixture into the Instant Pot. When sauce has thickened turn off the Instant Pot.
Serve beef and sauce over rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

To make in the slow cooker: Add beef, soy sauce, water, garlic, ginger, chili and honey to slow cooker. Stir well. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Make a cornstarch slurry with cornstarch and water and stir into the slow cooker. Cook on high without the lid until sauce has thickened.
