I'm back with another delicious Instant Pot recipe, and this time it's another takeout fakeout recipe!

Ever had beef and broccoli at your local Chinese restaurant? Yep, I know, it's amazing right??

Tender chunks of beef, and fresh crunchy broccoli that's cooked just right in a savory ginger-soy sauce that is also loaded with garlic. I could eat this stuff everyday if I was trying to limit my consumption of red meat.

If you're looking to get serious about meal prepping and make more delicious recipes like these, you HAVE to sign up for my free 5-day challenge below! 

Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli with Rice

Don't worry, I still eat beef a couple times a week so I'm not one of *those people* but I do try to stick more to plant-based options, chicken and seafood during the work week. But I'll make an exception for these beef and broccoli bowls, because they're actually pretty healthy. And they come together in ONE POT, did I mention that part?

I love simple dump dinners like this. You literally dump everything into your Instant Pot, then set it and forget it. Of course you don't cook the broccoli or red peppers, you're basically doing the beef and rice first along with the sauce, but when you stir them into the hot mixture afterwards you're left with veggies that have almost been steam cooked. They're just tender enough but still have a bit of a bite to them.

Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli with Rice

If you like your broccoli a little more well-done, I still wouldn't necessarily recommend pressure cooking it – instead, try cutting it into smaller pieces and then letting it sit a little bit longer with the hot beef and rice and that should do the trick!

How to Make Beef and Broccoli

This beef and broccoli recipe is not necessarily authentic, but it is hella delicious and since you usually end up cooking jasmine or basmati rice to serve on the side anyway, I figured we might as well include it mixed in all together to make this recipe simpler and easier to make.

With your typical beef broccoli recipe, you're looking at making a thicker sauce using cornstarch and water but I've switched it up a little to make it Instant Pot-friendly.

You could probably even do the beef in the slow cooker for 4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low and then add in some cooked rice after the fact, but in the interests of saving time I'd prefer to stick to the Instant Pot.

Beef and Broccoli Sauce

Literally the sauce is just soy sauce, garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce and water – they're all pantry staples that you should already have on hand at home, and this flavour combo is pretty much my go-to when making any sort of Asian-style cuisine.

If you like your stir fries a bit on the spicier side, you could also try adding a bit of sriracha or chili garlic sauce for a bit more flavour too but otherwise this is a super easy and straightforward sauce and there's not mixing anything together separately either. Just dump it all in one by one in the Instant Pot!

I also really love to make this beef with broccoli into meal prep bowls because you can cook a huge batch at once. If you aren't cooking for family and it's just you that you have to worry about, you may want to ensure that you have enough to eat during the work week and that's where this delicious stir fry copy cat comes in!

You could even technically make this with chicken and it would still taste pretty good if you're concerned about eating red meat each day of the week. Either way, you're gonna LOVE the sauce in these bowls!

Course: Entree
Cuisine: Asian
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 495kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb stir-fry steak strips
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 head Broccoli
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Add olive oil, steak strips, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, water and rice to Instant Pot in that order. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Instant Pot will take about 10-15 minutes to come to pressure, then pressure cook the 4 minutes so overall cooking time is closer to 20 minutes. Do a quick release of the pressure and open the lid when it's safe to do so.
  • Add in broccoli and red pepper, stirring to combine well. Place lid back on Instant Pot and let sit for 5-10 minutes to let the vegetables steam. Serve with a bit of sesame seeds on top and enjoy!

    Have you ever substituted the beef for chicken….would it be the same cook times. I have cooked the beef and it turned out perfect! Love all you recipes. Thanks

      Hey Belinda, thank you! 🙂 Chicken should be same cook time as the beef as long as you have cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces!

    Update! I recent tried this with quino.a and it turned out great.

    Increase the quinoa/water ratio to 1:2 and I added more hoisin soy ginger garlic to make up for the additional liquid.

    Thanks!

    Hi! Recently discovers your blog and your recipes are so good and easy! What cuts of meet do you use for this beef stir fry? Thanks!

      You can use just about any cut – typically I’m able to find strips of stir fry beef at the store but you can take any type of steak and slice it up too!

      Hey Alana – I’m sure you could but at this time I’m unable to provide alternative instructions because I would have to test it myself. Sorry about that!

    So simple & so bomb! I could tell before I even hit start that this was gonna be a home run because it smelled so good you want to dive in before you’ve even hit start. Cook time all in is short & it cooks with rice picking up all the flavor is a bonus. Will make this again & again!!!

    My grandson said “not much of a rice guy” (he’s 14) then proceeded to eat 2 helpings! I think he’s a rice guy now lol! Also, thanks for having a “jump to recipe” button! he’s allergic to nuts, dairy and eggs so I like to check out recipe first without scrolling forever. if I can make it or figure out alternatives, then I go back and read your tips/pics.

      I’m not sure that it will just because I haven’t tested it yet. I imagine the cook time would need to be increased by at least 5 minutes. Wish I could be of more assistance :/

    May I use regular white rice and is the water ratio different? I plan on making this for my partner tonight.

      Hi Allie – I would increase the water to 2 cups for white rice. Hope that helps!
