Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli

Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli 1 tbsp vegetable oil 3 cloves garlic grated or minced 1 tbsp ginger grated 12 oz (340 grams) flank beef steak sliced into strips or cubed 14 oz (400 grams) broccoli steamed For the sauce ½ cup soy sauce low sodium (for gluten free, use tamari sauce instead) 1 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp sesame oil ½ cup water or beef stock For the slurry and garnish 1 tbsp cornstarch for the slurry (add 1 tbsp of water and mix it with the corn starch before adding to the sauce) – you might need more if your sauce isn't thick enough. 1 tsp sesame seeds to garnish (optional) On saute mode (for 10 minutes), heat olive oil in the pot. Saute the garlic and ginger for a minute, then add the beef. Brown the beef, then add the sauce ingredients and give them a stir. Cover with the lid, and make sure that the Instant Pot vent is in sealing position. Press on "manual" or "pressure cook", set on high pressure, and cook for 8 minutes. Let the Instant Pot come to pressure, then it will stop cooking and will beep. Quickly release the steam and carefully open the lid. Click on "saute" for 2 minutes, and add the slurry to the pot. Mix it with the sauce, and the sauce will be thickened. If it's not thick enough, then add one more cornstarch with water mixed together before adding to the pot. Stir in the cooked broccoli and serve over rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
