Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat vegetable oil. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add sliced flank steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Mix beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar in a bowl, then pour into the Instant Pot.
  4. Close the lid, seal the vent, and set to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
  5. When cooking is complete, quick release the pressure carefully and open the lid.
  6. Add broccoli florets on top of the beef, close lid again, and let sit for 5 minutes to steam the broccoli without pressure.
  7. Mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Turn the Instant Pot back to sauté mode and stir in the slurry to thicken the sauce, cooking for 2 minutes.
  8. Stir in sesame oil if using, adjust seasoning as needed, and serve hot with steamed rice.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the beef slices in soy sauce and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking or sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
