Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Teriyaki Beef with Broccoli and Brown Rice.

1. Step 1

   To create a delicious teriyaki beef and broccoli dish served over fluffy brown rice, start by preparing the rice.

2. Step 2

   In a 4-quart pressure cooker, combine 2 1/2 cups of water with 2 cups of uncooked brown rice.

3. Step 3

   Secure the lid tightly and place the pressure regulator over the vent.

4. Step 4

   Heat the cooker until you see a steady stream of steam escaping, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.

5. Step 5

   Let the rice cook for about 22 minutes, or until it’s perfectly tender.

6. Step 6

   Once done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 to 10 minutes before carefully unlocking the lid and fluffing the rice.

7. Step 7

   While the rice is cooking, turn your attention to the beef.

8. Step 8

   In a 6-quart Instant Pot, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and select the 'Sauté' function.

9. Step 9

   Once the oil is hot, add in sliced boneless round steak and diced onion.

10. Step 10

    Sauté these together for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is beautifully browned and the onions are fragrant.

11. Step 11

    Next, whisk together 1/2 cup of water, 1/3 cup of soy sauce, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger in a small bowl.

12. Step 12

    Pour this flavorful mixture over the browned steak in the Instant Pot.

13. Step 13

    Cancel the 'Sauté' function, secure the lid, and set the pot to high pressure for 11 minutes.

14. Step 14

    It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up, so take this time to enjoy the enticing aromas wafting through your kitchen.

15. Step 15

    Once the cooking time is up, carefully use the quick-release method to release the pressure.

16. Step 16

    Unlock the lid and give everything a good stir, then add in 2 tablespoons of honey for a touch of sweetness that balances the savory flavors.

17. Step 17

    In a separate small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth.
