I'm nearing my 80th pressure cooker recipe with this easy Instant Pot beef and broccoli dinner!
If you love easy and copycat dishes you love eating when you go out to dinner, you and your kids will appreciate this flavorful meal. You can make it in your Ninja Foodi.
- With just a few ingredients you too can make this in less than 15 minutes!
Using frozen broccoli is a winner because it's available year round and doesn't get mushy. No need to cook the broccoli first.
What is the best cut of meat for beef and broccoli? Honestly, I tend to use what I have on hand, or whatever is on sale. If I want to make the best bites though, a tender flat iron steak tops the list for sure.
- After the filet it is actually the most tender cut of beef you can find and use for really any sort of recipe. Try it, it makes all the difference!
How long does it take to cook steak in an Instant Pot? Well if you're just cooking it with potatoes like we have done in the past, about 5 minutes does it. Timing will vary depending on thickness and how well done you like it but that's the general rule.
If you're looking for a low carb Instant Pot recipe this is a great one. Just omit the rice and you're set. We love this dinner recipe atop a bed of Jasmine rice but that's your choice.
If you have a large family you could double this easy Instant Pot beef and broccoli recipe. This tends to be enough to feed the 5 of us with rice on the side.
Many times I buy a bag of edamame and boil those while this is cooking. Then everything is ready at the same time. With a little salt on top they're inexpensive and a great new vegetable you can introduce to your kids.
