Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3.33 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2.5 pounds boneless chuck roast beef, cut into cubes or strips
  • 20 ounces broccoli florets, 6-7 cups
  • 1.67 Tablespoon olive oil

For the Sauce

  • 0.83 cup beef broth
  • 0.83 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 0.42 cup sweetener, brown sugar or honey
  • 1.67 Tablespoon corn starch

Equipment

Instructions

  1. Select the Sauté mode on the pressure cooker for medium heat and add canola oil. When the pot is hot, add garlic and sliced beef. Cook for a few minutes until browned, stirring frequently.
  2. Add beef broth, soy sauce, and sweetener. Stir together to dissolve the sweetener. Turn off the sauté mode.
  3. Secure and seal the lid. Cook for 15 minutes at high pressure.
  4. While waiting for the pressure cooker, cook broccoli by microwaving for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  5. When the pressure cooker is done, manually release pressure by carefully turning the release knob to its venting position.
  6. Uncover the pressure cooker and remove about 1/4 cup of liquid. Mix it with corn starch in a small bowl until completely dissolved and smooth, and add it back to the pot.
  7. Turn on the Sauté mode for medium heat. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken it a bit, stirring frequently. Turn off the Sauté mode.
  8. Add cooked broccoli back to the pot and briefly stir to coat with the sauce. Serve immediately with a side such as cauliflower rice.

Notes

How to turn this into a freezer meal:
Place meat, garlic, beef broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar (or honey) into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 90 days.
When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1/2 cup beef broth or water in with the frozen food.
Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 45 minutes (or 30 minutes per pound of your meat). Do a NATURAL RELEASE when the timer is done – I even like to let it sit in the Instant Pot for a few hours so that it falls apart so easily. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.

Fiesta Chicken: Ingredients 1 Pound Chicken Breast cut in 1" chunks 16 oz Can of black beans ( drained) 1 Pepper chopped 16 oz can of corn (drained) 2 Cans Rotel Tomatoes with Chillies 4 oz can Jalapenos (optional) 1 packet taco seasoning 1 packet ranch seasoning 2 Cups Rice uncooked 2 and a half cups of water 16 oz Colby jack cheese

Instant Pot Three Envelope Pot Roast Sliders

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 ounce dry onion soup mix, (1 packet)
  • 1 ounce dry Italian salad dressing mix, (1 packet)
  • 1 ounce dry Au Jus mix, (1 packet)
  • 2 ½ pounds beef roast, rump roast or chuck roast work great
  • 1 cup water
  • 12 King's Hawaiian Rolls
  • 4 ounces Swiss cheese slices, (6 slices halved)

Homemade Sauce

  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 Tablespoons chili sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons creamy horseradish sauce

Equipment

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together salsa, dry onion soup mix, Italian dressing mix, and Au Jus mix.
  2. Place roast inside of the Instant Pot.
  3. Pour the salsa mixture on top of the roast.
  4. Pour in the water (don't mix it with the salsa mixture, just keep it separate).
  5. Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and move the valve to SEALING.
  6. Press the MANUAL (PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 60 minutes (or 20 minutes per pound, depending on the size of your roast).
  7. When the timer is done, let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (it will take at least 20 minutes, but I even prefer to let the roast sit in there for a couple hours to make sure it is super tender).
  8. Remove the lid and shred the roast with 2 forks. Mix the shredded beef in with the liquid in the Instant Pot.
  9. Serve the roast on Hawaiian rolls with a piece of Swiss cheese and a spoonful of the homemade creamy sauce on top.

How To Make Homemade Creamy Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, chili sauce, and Horseradish sauce.

Notes

If you want to melt your cheese and toast your rolls before serving, cut the rolls in half and place cheese on one half of each roll, then place under the broiler for a minute (keep an eye on it because it will burn quickly!).
To turn this meal into a freezer meal:
  • Place roast, salsa, and 3 envelopes into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 90 days.
  • When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water in with the frozen food. Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 90 minutes (or 30 minutes per pound of your roast). Do a NATURAL RELEASE when the timer is done – I even like to let it sit in the Instant Pot for a few hours so that it falls apart so easily. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
