Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 cup beef broth, low-sodium or no salt added
  • 3-4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (combine with 1 tablespoon of water)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets

For garnish

  • sesame seeds, green onions

Instructions 

  • Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode and add the oil. Add the sliced beef to the pot and sauté for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned. You don’t need to cook it all the way through. add garlic and ginger and saute for 30 seconds until fragrant. Turn off Sauté mode.
  • Stir in beef broth, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir to combine, ensuring the beef is coated in the sauce.
  • Secure the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes. Once the timer goes off, quick release the pressure manually.
  • Turn the Instant Pot back to Sauté mode. Add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to the pot and stir. Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes until it thickens.
  • Add the broccoli, cover and let it steam in the sauce for 3-5 minutes until tender.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Use flank steak or sirloin for best results. Slice thinly against the grain to ensure the beef is tender and easy to chew.
  • I like to use no-salt-added broth, but if you're using regular or low-sodium broth, I recommend reducing the amount of soy sauce
  • You can also use frozen broccoli. There's no need to thaw. Add straight to the Instant Pot and cook for 5 minutes or so, until tender.
