Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak cut into bite size pieces
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1 Tablespoon garlic minced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons water cold
- 1 broccoli cut into bite size pieces, crown
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Place the steak in an electric pressure cooker. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar and sesame oil. Pour this mixture on top of the steak in the instant pot.
- Seal the instant pot and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. Do a quick release to release the pressure from the electric pressure cooker after this time.
- Whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small mixing bowl. Stir this mixture into the instant pot and switch the instant pot to the sauté setting.
- Then stir in the broccoli and put the lid back on the instant pot but do not pressure. Cook on sauté for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately over rice.

Notes

- Be careful not to overcook the broccoli during the sauté step to keep it crisp-tender.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness of the dish.
