Chinese Beef with Broccoli

A quick and flavorful Instant Pot recipe for tender beef and crisp broccoli in a savory soy-based sauce.

Ingredients: 1.5 lbs beef sirloin, thinly sliced. 1 cup beef broth. 1/2 cup soy sauce. 1/3 cup brown sugar. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tsp ginger, grated. 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. 4 cups broccoli florets. 2 tbsp cornstarch. 2 tbsp water. 2 tbsp sesame oil. 2 cups cooked white rice, for serving.

Instructions: In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Add sliced beef to the Instant Pot and pour the sauce over it. Close the lid and set the valve to 'sealing'. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, then do a quick pressure release. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the Instant Pot to thicken the sauce. Stir in sesame oil and add broccoli florets. Close the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the broccoli to steam and soften. Serve the beef and broccoli over cooked white rice. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
