Hawaiian Beef Recipe
Barbara’s new weekend plan is to cook several meals at a time and then pull them out a weeknight when she just doesn’t have the time to cook. She’ll have one meal going in the electric pressure cooker, one in the crock pot and one in the oven. It’s a lot of work but it makes her week smooth sailing.
She especially likes to do this with beef roasts in the electric pressure cooker because they still take 99 minutes which just isn’t doable during the week. We used a chuck roast but you could use other lean beef roasts that benefit from a “slow cook.”
How to Make Hawaiian Beef in Instant Pot
Step by Step Instructions
- Place the roast in the electric pressure cooker or Instant Pot insert.
- Stir together the remaining ingredients, and pour mixture over roast. Place the lid on tightly.
- Pressure cook on high pressure for 99 minutes. (Check the instruction manual for your pressure cooker to double check the recommended guidelines for a beef roast).
- Use the natural pressure release method.
- Remove bones, and shred with 2 forks.
- Serve over rice with pan juices as a sauce. Add cooked steamer bag of Asian vegetables for a complete meal.
Storage Instructions
Let leftovers cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator.

Recipe FAQs
- Cook up the thawed beef roast, then shred and serve it over rice with a bag of frozen Asian vegetables. The juice from the beef makes a delicious sauce that soaks into the rice.
- If you don’t have fresh ginger, consider using ginger paste. Then you can have it in the refrigerator when you need it. We usually have a jar of ginger paste and minced garlic in our fridges at all times.
- Make sure that you are properly removing the seal in your pressure cooker after using it. If not, the ginger is going to linger in your pot – yuck!
- We used a chuck roast but you can use any beef roast you have on hand, even beef stew meat. Be sure to adjust the cook time if using beef stew cubes.

Any idea how long & what temp this would cook in a crockpot? Thank you
We’ve never made this in the crock pot but cooking it on low for 8-10 hours should do it.
