Japanese Recipe − Instant Pot® Teriyaki Beef

I make this using a 6-quart Instant Pot® for the meat and a 4-quart pressure cooker for the brown rice.

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups water
• 2 cups uncooked brown rice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 ½ pounds boneless round steak, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
• 1 small onion, diced
• ½ cup water
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 4 each green onions, chopped

Cooking Directions

1. Combine 2 1/2 cups water and brown rice in a 4-quart pressure cooker. Close cooker securely and place pressure regulator over vent according to manufacturer's instructions. Heat until steam escapes in a steady flow and makes a whistling sound. Adjust temperature to a simmer. Cook until rice is tender, about 22 minutes. Let pressure release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions, 5 to 10 minutes. Unlock lid and remove.
2. At the same time, turn on a 6-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), add oil, and select Saute function. Add steak and onion to hot oil; saute until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, whisk together 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl; add to browned steak. Close and lock the lid and cancel Saute function. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 11 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
4. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
5. Stir in honey. Combine 3 tablespoons water and cornstarch in a small bowl; add to the Instant Pot®. Add broccoli.
6. Select Saute function and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and broccoli is cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with rice and garnish with green onions.
