I’ll admit it!  I am slightly obsessed with my Instant Pot!  I have one really picky 18 year old and within one hour I had Instant Pot Mac N Cheese made for him and Beef and Broccoli made for me!  Gotta love it!

So, here’s the beef and broccoli recipe down below.  The secret ingredient…Coconut Aminos for flavor and Xantham gum as a thickening agent!

Easy to make and way cheaper than ordering from your local Asian restaurant!  And I am sure healthier too.

Ingredients

• 1.5 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2-3 crowns broccoli broken into florets
• 3/4 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup coconut aminos

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
