Easy Instant Pot Keto Beef and Broccoli Recipe Ingredients
- 2 pounds of meat (chuck roast, rump roast or flank steak), cut into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or peanut oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons garlic (fresh, and minced)
- 1/2 cup Coconut Aminos
- 2 tablespoons Sukrin brown sugar
- 1 bag frozen broccoli (or 1 pound of fresh broccoli if you prefer)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Easy Instant Pot Keto Beef and Broccoli Recipe Instructions
- Start by slicing the meat against the grain in thin slices. Dice the onion and cut the fresh broccoli. You want all of these things done before you get started.
- In a medium bowl, combine the coconut aminos, sukrin brown sugar, beef broth, garlic, and ginger. I hardly ever use ginger so I used the powdered ginger spice instead of the fresh. Don’t add the starch until the very end. (I accidentally added the starch before and my pressure cooker never came to pressure because there was not enough liquid to make it work. It’s okay, I’m happy to share my failures with you so that you don’t make the same mistakes I do)
- Add this liquid mixture to the meat strips.
- Add about 3 tablespoons of olive oil or peanut oil to your pressure cooker and saute the onions until they are translucent in color.
- Add the meat combined with the liquid marinade to the pressure cooker and set it on manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Then quick-release the pressure value.
- Carefully remove about a 1/3 cup of the hot juices and add 2 tablespoons of xanthan gum. Use a fork or a whisk to make sure the xanthan gum is well combined. I find it easier to combine xanthan gum in hot liquid. If you prefer, you can use warm water also. I’ve done it both ways and it hardly makes a difference. Add the mixture back into the pressure cooker and stir. You will notice the liquid begin to thicken as it sits.
- Place the pound of broccoli in the microwave on high for about 5 minutes with 1 cup of water. This will steam it to the perfect consistency. Works for both frozen and fresh broccoli.
- Drain the water from the broccoli and mix it into the beef mixture in your pressure cooker. The beef and broccoli is done and ready to serve over cauliflower rice or by itself!
