Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli
Instant Pot beef and broccoli is a quick and easy dinner with tender beef, crisp broccoli, and savory-sweet garlic soy sauce. All done in one pot with minimal prep.
Equipment
- Instant Pot Used for both pressure cooking and sautéing
- Steamer or Microwave For steaming the broccoli
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds flank steak sliced thin against the grain
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil optional
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water to mix with cornstarch
- 4 cups broccoli florets steamed separately
- sesame seeds optional, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine sliced steak, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Let sit while prepping.
- Add marinated beef and beef broth to Instant Pot. Close lid and pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Quick release when done.
- While beef cooks, steam broccoli until crisp-tender, about 2–3 minutes. Set aside.
- Turn on sauté mode. Stir in cornstarch mixed with water. Simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Add steamed broccoli to the sauce. Toss gently to coat. Serve hot with sesame seeds over rice or noodles.
Notes
- Swap flank steak with sirloin or thin-sliced chuck if needed.
- Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
