Instructions

Turn the Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the beef is browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pot. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and broccoli for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Add the sauce to the Instant Pot along with 1/4 cup of water, stirring to combine.
Return the beef to the pot. Close the lid and turn the valve to 'Sealing'. Cook on 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' high pressure for 5 minutes.
Once the cooking is complete, do a quick release of the pressure.
Open the lid and stir the beef and vegetables to combine with the sauce. If the sauce is too thin, you can turn the Instant Pot back to 'Sauté' and simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
Serve the beef stir fry over cooked rice, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

Beef: Thinly slice the beef against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Don’t overcrowd the pot when browning the beef. Do it in batches if necessary. This step adds flavor to the beef and the dish overall.
Be careful not to overcook the vegetables. The short cooking time under pressure is sufficient for tender crisp veggies. Use a quick release of pressure to stop the cooking process and prevent the vegetables from becoming too soft.
The nutritional information does not include the rice.
