EASY INSTANT POT BEEF AND BROCCOLI

Please See Other Recipes

Beef and Broccoli really is my favorite Chinese dish! I always order it when we go to our favorite Chinese restaurant or when we order take out. But we do this very sporadically though, So I found a way to recreate this dish at home.
Sauté the broccoli until just tender. Remove from the pan and reserve. Add more oil and sauté garlic and ginger. Add sliced beef and brown until no longer pink. Add sauce; mix to combine. Secure Instant Pot lid and pressure cook for 15 minutes. When the time is over, let the pressure release on its own for 5 minutes. Then, carefully turn the valve to “Venting,” to release any extra pressure that might still be in there. Remove the lid. Add broccoli to the pot and toss to coat. Season with salt, if needed. Serve immediately.
It will be hard to find a more mouthwatering and no-fuss weeknight meal than this Easy Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli.

Ingredients
Sauce:

• 2/3 cup water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine Shaoxing wine (see notes)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (optional but highly recommended)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground white pepper or red pepper (cayenne) (see notes)
• Stir-fry:
• 2 lb round strips (see notes)
• 3 tablespoon vegetable oil, separated
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1/4 cup green onion, sliced (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds to garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a jar o bowl.
2. Place meat in a big bowl and add ¼ cup of sauce. Mix to combine. Let it marinade for 15 to 30 minutes, or longer if you have the time. The more marinating, the more tender and flavorful the meat will be.
3. Turn the Instant Pot on and select "saute" mode, adjust heat to less. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add broccoli florets and saute for 3 - 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are vibrant in color and just tender. Remove from Instant Pot and reserve. Turn off the Instant Pot. Note: You can also steam or pan fry the broccoli on the stove, if desired.
4. Turn the Instant Pot on again and select "saute" mode, adjust heat to more. Add 2 tablespoons of oil. When hot, add garlic and ginger and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, or until fragrant. Add the meat (in batches) and brown. Note: You can skip the browning process, but it really adds more flavors to the dish. You can also brown the meat over the stove, if desired.
