Trim excess fat from beef chuck steak and cut off silver skin.

Cut beef into one inch cubes and transfer to a medium bowl.

Prepare a vinegar solution with distilled vinegar and cool tap water, enough to cover the beef.

Soak beef in vinegar solution for 30 seconds, then rinse twice with fresh running water.

Pat beef dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid.

In a bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, all-purpose seasoning, pink Himalayan salt, fresh cracked black pepper, crushed pimento seeds, soy sauce, brown sugar, and vegetable oil to create a marinade.

Massage marinade into beef, cover with airtight wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (overnight is preferred).

Insert the liner into the Instant Pot and press the sauté button, adding vegetable oil to heat.

Add beef in single layers to the Instant Pot and sear for 3-4 minutes on all sides until crust forms.

Remove beef from Instant Pot and switch to a braiser for better searing.

Heat vegetable oil in the braiser over medium-high heat and sear beef in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until crust forms.

Reduce heat to medium and add half of the chopped onion to the braiser, sautéing for about 2 minutes until translucent.

Add minced garlic to the onions and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
