Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli Recipe - eviltoast

Pretty easy dinner if you have an Instant Pot or other pressure cooker. I like to make this whenever the meat is a good price. I use either London broil or a tri tip. Tastes great made with GF Soy Sauce (I use Kikkoman) or Tamari or coconut aminos. I’ve done all three it’s great every time but my favorite is the Kikkoman GF soy sauce. I add crimini mushrooms.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs London broil, boneless
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons Olive oil (we need a nice bottle)
  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • for garnish Toasted sesame seeds, optional
  • 1/2 cup GF soy sauce or Tamari
  • 4 servings hot cooked rice
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

Directions

  1. Season beef with pepper. Put olive oil in the cooking pot and select browning or saute. When oil begins to sizzle, brown meat in batches until all meat is browned - do not crowd. Transfer meat to a plate when browned.

  2. When all meat is browned select Saute and add chopped onion to the pot. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes until onion starts to soften. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more.

  3. Add beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir until sugar is dissolved.

  4. Add browned beef and any accumulated juices. Select High Pressure. Set timer for 12 minutes.

  5. Steam broccoli.

  6. When beep sounds turn pressure cooker off and use quick pressure release. When valve drops carefully remove the lid.

  7. In a cup combine cornstarch and water; stir until smooth. Add to pressure cooker pot. Stir well to combine. Select browning or saute and stir until sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Add steamed broccoli.

  8. Serve over hot, cooked rice and garnish with sesame seeds.
