Instructions

Sear the Beef: Turn the Ninja Foodi to Sauté mode and heat the olive oil. Add the beef tips and sear until browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes. Once browned, press Cancel to stop the sauté mode.
Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger until well combined.
Pressure Cook: Pour the prepared sauce over the seared beef in the Ninja Foodi. Close the lid of the Foodi and set the valve to the Seal position. Pressure cook on High for 15 minutes to tenderize the beef and develop flavors.
Release Pressure: After cooking, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release to let out any remaining pressure.
Thicken the Sauce: Switch back to Sauté mode. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to a rich, glossy consistency.
Serve: Spoon the beef tips and thickened teriyaki sauce over steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

You can substitute flank steak or stew meat if sirloin isn’t available; however, increase the pressure cooking time by 5 minutes for tougher cuts.
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture before cooking.
Serve with steamed rice or your favorite grain to soak up the delicious sauce.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
