- 1/2 small onion diced
FOR THE SAUCE
- 3/4 cup low sodium beef broth
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp corn starch
Instructions
- Choose the saute mode on the Instant Pot and add canola oil. When the pot is hot, add the garlic, onion, and beef slices. Cook for a few minutes until the meat is brown, stirring frequently.
- Add in the broth, soy sauce and brown sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar then turn off the saute mode.
- Secure and seal the Instant Pot lid and cook for 15 minutes at high pressure
- While the Instant Pot cooks, cook the broccoli {adding in 1 cup of water with it} for 3-4 minutes in the microwave, or until tender
- This is also the time to start cooking your rice or other preferred side dish to your meal
- When the instant Pot is done, manually release the pressure by carefully turning the release knob and venting.
- Take off the instant Pot lid and remove about 1/2 of the liquid, into a small bowl. Mix the cornstarch into it until smooth.
- Return reserve to post and saute again for about 5 minutes, so the sauce thickens up. Turn off saute mode, and toss broccoli into the pot and stir until coated.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
