Beef and Sauce
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Vegetables
- Prepare the beef and sauce. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, and beef broth. Add the thinly sliced beef to the mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Pressure cook the beef. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat vegetable oil. Add the beef and sauce mixture and sauté briefly to combine. Then seal the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes to tenderize the beef and develop flavors.
- Add the broccoli. Quick-release the pressure, open the lid, and add the broccoli florets on top of the beef. Seal the Instant Pot again and set to steam for 2 minutes to cook the broccoli until crisp-tender.
- Finish the dish. Quick-release the pressure once more. If desired, mix cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry and stir it into the sauce, then turn on sauté mode to thicken the sauce for 2–3 minutes. Stir everything gently to combine before serving.
Notes
- Thinly slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- You can substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust ginger and garlic quantities to your taste preference.
- Fresh broccoli works best, but frozen can be used if added directly to the pot before steaming.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, use cornstarch or arrowroot powder slurry as described in the last step.
