How To Make beef and broccoli (instant pot)

Step 1

Gather all of your ingredients together and have everything chopped and ready to go, and the sauce made before you start.

Step 2

Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a large measuring cup or medium size bowl. Whisk it well. Set aside.
Step 3

Turn on the Sauté setting, and when hot, add the oil. Add half of the beef strips and brown them a couple minutes on both sides (don't cook fully). Remove them to a plate and repeat with the second half.
Step 4

After the second batch has browned, add the first batch back into the pot and add the onion and garlic. Cook for a couple minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 5

Pour in the sauce and stir.
Step 6

Turn off the Sauté setting. If you are making rice, set the tall trivet into the pot and set the pan of rice/water on the trivet. Then close the lid and set the steam release knob to sealing position.
Step 7

Press the Manual button and set timer to 10 minutes.
Step 8

After cooking cycle has ended, press cancel and let set undisturbed for 5 minutes. Then do a quick release. When the pin drops, you can open lid.
Step 9

Then carefully remove the pan of rice and the trivet and set aside. Add the broccoli to the pot, pour in the cornstarch slurry and manual cook again for 0 minutes. Then quick release as soon as the cooking cycle has finished.
Step 10

Meanwhile, fluff the rice with a fork and transfer to a serving bowl.
Step 11

After you open the pot again, stir well. Serve over hot rice. Garnish as desired.
