Select the Sauté function on the Instant Pot and heat 1 tbsp of the oil until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add the beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply browned on at least two faces. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and repeat with the remaining beef, adding the second tbsp of oil before the second batch.
