Instant Pot Freezer Beef & Broccoli

Beef and sauce freeze in the bag; the broccoli goes in fresh at the end so it stays crisp. Serve over rice.

Ingredients

• 1½ lb beef chuck or sirloin, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• (added at cooking time: ½ cup broth; 4 cups broccoli florets; 1 tbsp cornstarch to thicken)

Assembly & Freezing

Combine the beef, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar in a gallon freezer bag. Press flat and freeze. Good up to 3 months.

Cook from Frozen

1. Add ½ cup broth to the Instant Pot and drop in the frozen block.
2. Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes, then quick release.
3. Set to Sauté, stir in a cornstarch slurry to thicken, and add the broccoli. Simmer 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.

Notes

Adding the broccoli fresh at the end keeps it from turning to mush. Serve over rice — see the Instant Pot rice timings in the bowl recipes.
