Cooking Instructions
- Turn on the Instant Pot and select the SAUTE setting. Heat the vegetable oil and saute the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the beef and brown it on all sides, stirring occasionally. Deglaze the pot with water, scraping the bottom to remove any bits stuck to it.
- Add the sauce ingredients and stir to combine. Switch off the saute setting.
- Secure the lid and set the vent to SEALING. Select the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting for 8 minutes at high pressure. The Instant Pot will take around 5 minutes to come to pressure.
- When the cooking program ends, quickly release the steam and remove the lid.
- Press on the SAUTE setting, add the cornstarch slurry, and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Turn off the Instant Pot and stir in the steamed broccoli. Serve hot over rice and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
