Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs steak or beef roast, sliced thin
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/2 cup beef stock or broth
  • 1/3 cup liquid aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 Tbsp sesame seed oil
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 – 1 1/2 lbs broccoli florets
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice by either following the instructions on the package OR by following the recipe for Instant Pot Brown Rice (22 minute cook time) or Instant Pot White Rice (4 minute cook time). Remove the cooked rice from the Instant Pot before making the broccoli or the beef.
  2. Add the broccoli to the Instant Pot with 1 cup of water. Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 0 minutes for firm broccoli, or 1 minute for slightly more tender broccoli.
  3. As soon as the timer beeps, release the pressure. Drain the liquid, remove the broccoli from the Instant Pot, and set aside.
  4. Add the onion, garlic, beef stock or broth, liquid aminos, honey, sesame seed oil, and red pepper to the Instant Pot and stir together well. Add the sliced beef and stir.
  5. Close the lid and set the pressure valve to “sealing.” Press “pressure cook” or manual and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.
  6. When the timer goes off, use the quick pressure release method by turning the valve from “sealing” to “venting.” Make sure your face and hands are not above the valve when you do this.
  7. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch and water in a mug until the corn starch is completely dissolved.
  8. When the beef is done, remove the lid and press the “sauté” button. Add the slurry to the pot and stir constantly until dissolved. The sauce will thicken fairly quickly. When it’s thick, turn the Instant Pot off.
  9. Serve beef and broccoli over rice, or as desired.

Notes

  • Rice: You can use white rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice. If you make rice in the Instant Pot, be sure to cook this FIRST, and remove the cooked rice from the pot before making the beef.
  • Broccoli: If you have them, use the steamer basket accessory, a glass lid, and the “steam” function on the Instant Pot to make the broccoli.
  • Beef: Any cut of beef will work; just be sure to slice it thinly before cooking.
  • Soy Sauce: I recommend low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos) when possible.
