Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli

Recipe: Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli

I usually find myself sticking to the same dinner ideas every week. I was so excited to switch it up with this Beef and Broccoli stir fry, except I wanted to try it out in my Instant Pot.

The recipe can seem a little intimidating, but after trial and error, it really isn’t that bad at all! I love that I can adapt this recipe to low carb, keto and gluten free.

instant pot beef and broccoli

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs Beef (I grabbed the diced beef you would use for a stew)
  • 4 cups of Broccoli
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon oil (Canola, EVOO or coconut)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy (use coconut aminos as a replacement for Whole 30/gluten free – my favorite brand)
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (To stay on Whole 30 guidelines do not use sweetener, but I used my favorite coconut sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
  • sesame seeds for final touch!

Directions:

  • Grab your instant pot and use the sauté setting on medium heat. This will act like a frying pan so you can brown your beef. Add oil of your choice, beef and garlic powder. Stir frequently and cook until brown.
  • Next, add your beef broth, soy sauce and sweetener. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved and then turn off sauté mode.
  • Attach the lid and make sure your vent is sealed. Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
  • While the instant pot is cooking – put broccoli in a pot with 2 cups of water, steam until done.
  • When 15 minutes is complete, quick release and then remove lid.
  • In a small bowl, use 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and take 1/2 cup of liquid from the instant pot. Whisk together until thick and creamy. Add back in to instant pot.
  • Turn sauté mode on and stir frequently to let beef and juices simmer. This will make everything a little thicker. Turn off sauté and add your steamed broccoli.
  • Voila! A few great ways to enjoy this is with cauliflower rice, brown rice or spiraled veggies!

Have you tried a stir fry in your instant pot?!

    I love this kind of meal, and using Instant Pot is even better for a quick ready meal.

    This is amazing but I hope it will come out the same when I try it out on normal pots as I don’t have a instant pot. This is also a great way to add some of the rich in iron food into my diet! I have a feeling this is going to be a favourite in my household too! Thank you so so so much!
