Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine pears, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  2. Marinate the Beef (optional): If you have a little extra time, let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the Beef: Place the marinated beef in the Instant Pot, pour the rest of the marinade over it, and secure the lid. Set to high pressure and cook for 65 minutes if using frozen chuck or 45 minutes for frozen sirloin.
  4. Release Pressure: Once the cooking time is up, allow a natural release for 10 minutes before doing a quick release.
  5. Warm Tortillas: Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble Tacos: Fill the warm tortillas with shredded beef and top with kimchi, cilantro, and spicy mayo.
