Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli

• 2 lb. of beef cut into bite size pieces (we like eye of round steak but any beef cooks well in the instant pot)
• 1 Tbl. Spoon Seasoning of choice (We like Tony Chachere’s and Nature’s Seasoning)
• 3 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil
• ½ tablespoon of minced garlic
• 1 Knorr Beef Stock Tub
• 2 ½ cups of water
• ½ cup of soy sauce
• 2 cups of rice
• 1 Steamable bag of broccoli

 

Instructions – Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli

 

#1.  First, put your Instant Pot on Sauté (high) and add three tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil.

 

#2.  Next, add your beef and seasoning of choice.  Brown your meat scraping the burnt/browned pieces off the bottom of the pot (use a utensil that will not scratch the bottom of your pot).  Once almost completely browned add in your garlic and sauté for another minute or two.

 

#3.  Then add 2 ½ cups of water, Knorr beef stock tub, and ½ cup of soy sauce and stir all together.

 

#4.  Close the lid and turn the steam release valve to “sealing” position.

 

#5.  Next, press pressure cook button.  Then press pressure level button until high is selected.   Set timer for 15 minutes.  **Please note- If your Instant Pot is still on sauté mode you will need to press “Cancel” then “Pressure Cook”.

 

#6.  Now you prepare your rice and cook your steamable bag of broccoli in the microwave.

 

#7.  After the timer has completed turn the steam release valve to “Venting” for a quick release of steam.  **Waning – The steam is very hot, use a towel to turn the release valve so it does not burn you.

 

#8.  Toss your beef and broccoli together and serve over rice!
