If you want a homemade version of beef and broccoli then you must try this easy instant pot beef and broccoli dish. If you don’t have an instant pot you can easily prepare in your slow cooker as well you will just need to adjust time accordingly. Todd loves his Panda Express, so there was a week I stuck to coming up with all of his favorites from there only made healthier and with real ingredients. I always get so nervous when presenting him with healthier versions of his favorite comfort meals, because he is super picky. However, I am happy to report he has requested this meal to be in our weeknight meal rotations, YAY!!! Believe me when I say this is super easy to prepare and pretty much foolproof.
What you will need:
- I used Buy Ranch Direct flank steak but you can use whatever cut of meat you’d like
- Tapioca flour (this is used to thicken the sauce)
- Coconut aminos
- Sesame oil
- Minced garlic
- Chili flakes
- Avocado oil
- Beef bone broth
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Once you have all your ingredients you are going to set your instant pot to the saute function and heat your avocado oil. Once warm add your steak that you coated with your tapioca flour, salt + pepper, and brown a couple minutes each side. Then add in your coconut aminos, sesame oil, garlic, chili flakes, and cook a couple more minutes. Add in your bone broth, making sure the meat is covered in the broth. Cover your instant pot, seal valve, set instant pot to meat function for 10 minutes. Once done let the pressure release naturally, about 10-15 minutes. Then open your instant pot add in the broccolini, close instant pot, and let the broccolini sit for 5 minutes to allow the broccolini to get tender.
