Chef's Notes

Jeffrey's Tips

AVOID MUSHY BROCCOLI! Steam the broccoli separately in the microwave and add it in AFTER the pot finishes its natural release. This will keep your broccoli firmer with a more distinct bite – like the typical beef & broccoli you’re used to. If you pressure cook it with the beef, it will become mush the second you stir it.While I think flank steak is the best cut of meat for this due to how tender it is, you can also use stew meat cubes (NOT the same as cubed steak – avoid that as it’s rubber). If using the cubes that are large chunks in size, slice them into smaller, bite-size pieces. Then, when pressure cooking, increase pressure cook time to 15 minutes and finished with the same 15 minute natural release.If you want a very thick sauce, add up to 4 tablespoons cornstarch + 4 tablespoons water for the cornstarch slurry instead of a 2:2 ratio.
