I have had my insta pot for a month. I finally made hard boiled eggs as my test run. Then I this recipe for my second test run. I was so nervous but it came out fantastic. The flank steak fell apart into little chunks which was fine. I might cut them thicker next time. Either way it was delicious. Thank you.
I just made some using this recipe. I absolutely loved it. I didn’t have soy sauce but I did have Worcestershire sauce but it was perfect. And I also used ginger/garlic paste so I didn’t put separate garlic because the ginger paste had it. It was the quickest meal I’ve ever made. It was also my first meal using the Instapot. Thank you ❤️
Sorry for the late reply. I’m so glad it turned out great for you. You picked a great one for your first meal. Now you will really be hooked on your instant pot! 😊
Thanks for the keto options, that’s pretty awesome. You can also replace the soy sauce with coconut amino‘s. A lot of Keto people don’t want to eat the soy either and coconut amino‘s are pretty good soy sauce alternative, It’s pretty much the same thing just made from coconut instead of soy. The brownie is important to your right. Nichole at the Maillard reaction, it’s where the proteins in the meat break down and become sugars and that’s what makes brown it’s caramelizing your meat, literally and that is one of the strongest and best flavors in here to not do it would be like not putting soy sauce in here or not putting the bullion in here it makes a huge difference and that’s some of the best flavor you get and all of this and makes a huge difference. Definitely an important step. You could also do it in a walk or a big pan of people don’t want to wait to use the instant pot doing it in batches but then just pour your sauce in the pan after and scrape it and pour all that in the Insta pot. And you’re definitely right about not flipping it too soon. If the meat sticking let it sit there for a minute when it’s done it’ll break free so just nugget with the tongs or the spoon and if it doesn’t move leave it for a little bit longer and try it again and eventually it’ll move and that’s when it’s done. Once it gets that little bit of the crust on there it will stop sticking to the pan. This looks pretty awesome I’m gonna have to give it a try. Thanks.
Looks delish! Many ppl in Hawaii add a touch of carbonation to help breakdown the meat such as 7-Up. I wonder if a tap of Oyster sauce would be good, too... I’m making this on Friday. Thanks, for sharing!
By using chuck roast, the meat became very tender. If you use a left fatty cut of meat, like too round, then I would add 7-up. Let me know how it turns out for you! 😊
Hi Connie - no unfortunately. I plan on adding the complete written recipes on my blog but it will take me some time to get all my recipes on there. Stay tuned! 😀
I made this sans Instant Pot - just takes a lot longer to get my meat to the tenderness that I like! The reason I am commenting, though, is that I followed your keto-version sauce to a tee and OMG the fam went bonkers! My daughter, who is not a child, and hates everything, said: this is really, really, REALLY good!” & my husband said, “this is BETTER than any beef & broccoli that I’ve ever had out or as takeout!” Suffice it to say, This recipe is a keeper! Thank you so much! I wonder if this sauce would work with chicken?
I love this recipe just made the keto version. Only thing is the xanthum gum didnt cause it thicken, and I used twice the ammount (1/2 tsp), any suggestions or did I screw up?
Xanthum gum is tricky to work with. There’s a fine line between thickening the sauce and making it slimy. You can always try thinking it with almost flour which is low carb. I’m glad you liked the recipe!
Xanthan gum doesn't emulsify very well in liquid but it does in fat. Do not dump it in the gravy or you will get clumps. I used a teaspoon of nut oil and 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum then whisked in 3 TBS of liquid. Whisk thoroughly then add and stir in small increments until desired consistency.
Late to the party, but I like to add the 1/4 tsp of XG to a tsp of water and drop the little clump in. I don't know why but it thickens up better that way for me.
Is the meat with the grey or brown color safe to eat? I had a beef chuck with that color and I threw it away thinking it was bad. Anyways ima cook ur recipe today!!
Is it still within the stores sell or use by date? If so and it doesn’t smell funny, you should be safe to use it. If it smells or is past the date, I wouldn’t use it. 😊
This looks delicious but I don’t have an instant pot :( do you think I would be able to make it in a slow cooker and do the first and last parts on a skillet instead? Also would you have a recommendation for how long to keep it in the slow cooker?
Or you could just do it on your stove. The meat really doesn’t need more cooking than the sautéing since it’s sliced so thin. Then add the sauce and broccoli and cook that. I think it would be quicker that way than using the instapot.
Hi Maryann! This is not a stupid question. When any recipe you cook, once the cooking time completes and gets to 0, the display shows L00 which means cooking time has completed, and if your Keep Warm setting was on, it will go into keep warm mode abs the pot is depressurizing. If your pot does not have the keep warm button engaged, it will shut off and begin the natural pressure release. The pot will count upwards to 10 minutes in this case to show natural pressure release of 10 mins.
Question - in the ingredients section of the video you list 1 C water and further down you also list 1C beef broth using better than bouillon and 1 C water. I watched the whole video - 3 or 4 times to write everything down - but I never saw where the first 1 C water was used. I saw 1/4C water to deglaze the pot after searing. Where is the first 1C water used? Did I miss something?
Sorry to hear that abs thank you for your input. I will be working on my blog over the next few months and it will have the recipes in a printable format.
it is generally a bad idea to wash meat. Washing it will not kill all of the bacteria but will increase the risk of spreading potentially harmful bacteria. The high temp of cooking the meat will kill any bacteria on the meat.
Just made it (had to replace the beef broth with chicken broth since it is all we had...... Still Delicious!
Glad you liked it! 😊
You’re verrrrry informative and patient. It’s really appreciated.
Thank you, Marina! :)
I spend a fortune on broccoli beef at the restaurant. I'm starting keto soon. You're a life saver !
You will love it! 😂

Can i use the same recipe and use chicken instead?
@@rosariaconte1908 yes you can!
Lori, this looks delish! Do you have the whole recipe written with directions that I can download?

Thank you for the feedback Nina! I ‘m sure the sauce will taste good with chicken too! 😊
Can you add Hoisin sauce to this? I love the flavor of it, but not sure how much to use, if any at all. Thanks for the recipe!
Yes, modify it to your liking! 😊
Hi Lori, I plan to make this tonight. Do you have the instructions posted somewhere other than the video? Like a blog post, etc?
Katherine Stone - no I’m sorry I don’t. I’m planning on working on making printable recipes in the future. I hope you enjoy it!
Cooking with Lori thanks for the reply!
Hello, you mentioned you wash the Instant Pot cover after each use; how do you wash it? Do you put it in the dishwasher?
Yes I do!
Top rack only
I love this recipe just made the keto version. Only thing is the xanthum gum didnt cause it thicken, and I used twice the ammount (1/2 tsp), any suggestions or did I screw up?

@@cookingwithlori6566 Hey thx for the reply! I'll give the almond flour a shot.
Xanthan gum doesn't emulsify very well in liquid but it does in fat. Do not dump it in the gravy or you will get clumps. I used a teaspoon of nut oil and 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum then whisked in 3 TBS of liquid. Whisk thoroughly then add and stir in small increments until desired consistency.

Thanks Just went GF
I can enjoy my favorite dish thanks
Let me know how you liked it! 😊
Hi. Is there a soy sauce alternative that is just as good?
For gluten free? Yes you can use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
Can this be made on the stovetop ?
Yes it can - I just don’t have the exact times for you.
Is the meat with the grey or brown color safe to eat? I had a beef chuck with that color and I threw it away thinking it was bad. Anyways ima cook ur recipe today!!
Is it still within the stores sell or use by date? If so and it doesn’t smell funny, you should be safe to use it. If it smells or is past the date, I wouldn’t use it. 😊
@@cookingwithlori6566 I made ur recipe today and it was delicious!!!!!! My kids loved it!!! Thank you!!!
Peggy I’m so glad you like it!! It’s as good as takeout! 😊
You could also wrap the brocoli in tin foil and keep it in the instant pot.
Great suggestion!
This looks delicious but I don’t have an instant pot :(
do you think I would be able to make it in a slow cooker and do the first and last parts on a skillet instead? Also would you have a recommendation for how long to keep it in the slow cooker?
I haven’t tried it in the slow cooker but you could put it in for 4 hours on high.
Or you could just do it on your stove. The meat really doesn’t need more cooking than the sautéing since it’s sliced so thin. Then add the sauce and broccoli and cook that. I think it would be quicker that way than using the instapot.
Great suggestion! 😊
Mine just turned out really liquidy and I used almond flour, I don’t know why but it wouldn’t thicken 🤦🏻♂️
Can you use stew meat?
You could, if you cut it thin, but it won’t be as tender as chuck roast.
Trying to find info under video on using fresh broccoli instead of frozen and not seeing it. Help pls. Thx.
And small florets at the time of the slurry and cook for 3- 5 mins to the desired tenderness. 😊
Stupid question time ....
does the insta pot go automatically to 10 minute cool down? Or is there a setting you need to do for it?
Hi Maryann! This is not a stupid question. When any recipe you cook, once the cooking time completes and gets to 0, the display shows L00 which means cooking time has completed, and if your Keep Warm setting was on, it will go into keep warm mode abs the pot is depressurizing. If your pot does not have the keep warm button engaged, it will shut off and begin the natural pressure release. The pot will count upwards to 10 minutes in this case to show natural pressure release of 10 mins.
1 tbs of corn starch is 9 carbs. I guess a little goes a long way?
If you don’t mind it runny you can. Omit it all together or use xanthan gum to thicken it.
Question - in the ingredients section of the video you list 1 C water and further down you also list 1C beef broth using better than bouillon and 1 C water. I watched the whole video - 3 or 4 times to write everything down - but I never saw where the first 1 C water was used. I saw 1/4C water to deglaze the pot after searing. Where is the first 1C water used? Did I miss something?
At the 2:30 mark she used the 1 c. water to make the bouillon.
Where is the sesame oil in the list of ingredients?
Sorry - I updated the list of ingredients to include two tsp of sesame oil. Thank you! 😊
I found the ingredients list but where are the written instructions? Hard to use, much less share with no instructions.
Sorry I only have the video as the instructions.
Too many adds Lori
Looks good. The only thing I don’t like is that I can’t print out the recipe so I will not be subscribing
Sorry to hear that abs thank you for your input. I will be working on my blog over the next few months and it will have the recipes in a printable format.
Just cook it in a wok. Much quicker, easier and miles better. Chinese cooks would be laughing their heads off at this.
Some people don’t have a stove or wok. This is just an alternate way to make it.
If we wanted to use a wok, we would. No one cares about someone laughing, except you, I guess.
Wash the meat 🥴
U dont need to wash it
Chicken yes but not beef
it is generally a bad idea to wash meat. Washing it will not kill all of the bacteria but will increase the risk of spreading potentially harmful bacteria. The high temp of cooking the meat will kill any bacteria on the meat.
