Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds beef steak trimmed, thinly sliced
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 cups cooked broccoli
  • 2 cups cooked rice

Method
 

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting and add sesame oil and olive oil. Generously season the steak with salt and pepper.
  2. When oil is hot, add steak and saute until browned, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add onions and garlic to the instant pot. Stir and continue to saute until onions are tender, about 5 more minutes.
  4. In a small bowl or a measuring cup, combine beef broth, soy sauce and brown sugar. Stir well until sugar dissolves. Pour into the instant pot over the meat mixture. 
  5. Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. 
  6. While cooking, warm the broccoli and the rice. 
  7. Once cooking time is up, release the pressure immediately and remove the lid.
  8. Mix 2 tablespoons of water into 1 tablespoon cornstarch and pour into beef mixture. Stir until well combined. The mixture should start to thicken immediately.
  9. Add cooked broccoli into the mixture and stir to coat.
  10. Serve immediately over warmed rice. Enjoy!
