This Pressure Cooker Chinese Take-Out Beef and Broccoli is better than any restaurant. Make it a one pot meal and cook the rice using my “pot in pot” method!

Pressure Cooker Chinese Take-Out Beef and Broccoli

Pressure Cooker Chinese Take-Out Beef and Broccoli

My family’s favorite Chinese restaurant is in Boynton Beach, Florida, called “Chinatown.”

We actually stumbled onto it one Christmas Eve while driving around looking for a new Chinese restaurant. It was just a “hole in the wall.” That hole in the wall, turned out to be the best Chinese restaurant we had been to in many years. It became our go-to Chinese Christmas Day restaurant (and many days throughout the year). You have probably heard the joke that Jews eat Chinese food on Christmas, right? Well, it is no joke. We actually do and have been doing it for years. 🙂

Now that we are back in California, unless you drive to China Town or San Gabriel it is hard to find fantastic Chinese eateries. So, I’ve been developing my own recipes for yummy Chinese food. You will find tons of Chinese recipes like my Instant Pot Chinese Spareribs with Black Bean Sauce and my Air Fryer Chinese Salt and Pepper Pork Chops thought my website, so make sure to check out all the wonderful recipes.

Cast of Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Chinese Take-Out Beef and Broccoli

You won’t believe how easy it is to make Pressure Cooker Chinese Take-Out Beef and Broccoli, in your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker. This recipe does not use a ton of brown sugar, nor is it overly sweet. My Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli has that authentic Chinese flavor as I use the ingredients found in great authentic Chinese food. I love authenticity!

Ingredients for Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli

  • Beef
  • Fresh Garlic
  • Chili Peppers
  • Potato Starch – see below
  • Black Soy Sauce*
  • Fish Sauce
  • Sesame Oil
  • Chinese Five Spice is a popular spice in Asian cooking and adds authenticity to this recipe.
  • White Pepper
  • Beef Broth 

 

Slice the beef into strips

Slice the beef into strips

Chuck Roast works wonderfully for this recipe, but you can use Rump Roast or Flank Steak. If using a Sirloin or Skirt Steak, you really don’t even need to pressure cook it, as it will become a bit tough.

*What is Black Soy Sauce?

Healthy Boy Sweet/Black Soy Sauce is my favorite, but sometimes hard to find. The Kecap Manis Brand is terrific and always available on-line. Sweet/Black Soy Sauce is used a lot in Asian cooking, so I suggest you keep a bottle in your arsenal of pantry staples. The flavor is sweet and slightly salty with a thick molasses texture. It adds a nice depth of flavor.

Pro Tip: Black soy sauce that is sweet is different from a product labeled Dark Soy Sauce. Dark soy sauce is extra salty.

Another wonderful ingredient that I use in many of my Asian (and American) dishes is Three Crabs Brand Fish Sauce. It adds a huge level of flavor, without being fishy. If you are grossed out by it,  just leave it out.

 

Coat Beef with Dry Seasoning and Potato Starch

Coat Beef with Dry Seasoning and Potato Starch

The meat is then coated in potato starch.

Why Add Potato Starch?

  • Coating the meat in potato starch will protect the meat and keep it nice and juicy. You will also notice that when you saute the meat, it won’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
  • Using potato starch at this stage will also ensure the sauce has a nice consistency so that you will not need to do a potato starch or corn starch slurry at the end.

Pro Tip: Often times adding a slurry to a pressure cooker recipe will cause a raw starch taste if you don’t get the pot hot enough. To do that, you are chancing over cooking the food.

 

Whisk up the Sauce for the Beef

Whisk up the Sauce for the Beef

Whisk up the Sauce ingredients into a medium bowl.

Set the Sauce aside until a bit later.

 

Heat up the Pressure Cooker and add Oil

Heat up the Pressure Cooker and add Oil

Make sure to fully heat up your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker cooking pot before adding the oil.

A very hot stainless steel pot with the fat added afterwards, makes stainless steel, non stick!

Some multi-pots have a Sauté button, which is handy. If not, any other button which produces heat is fine. Even using the button marked “Meat” will heat up the pot enough.

 

Add the Meat to Instant Pot

Add the Meat to Instant Pot

The potato starch sinks into the meat and during cooking releases a bit. This is what gives the sauce some body. Because the starch is under pressure, it will easily combine with all the ingredients and there won’t be any kind of raw taste.

 

Pour in the Beef Broth

Pour in the Beef Broth

More onions can be used. If you like carrots, just slice them on the diagonal and add them in here. There are so many option you can add if you want more than just beef and broccoli!

If you don’t like spice, the red peppers can be omitted. On the flip side, more can be added for those who love lots of heat!

 

Place the Trivet over the Beef

Place the Trivet over the Beef

Turn this Pressure Cooker Chinese Take-Out Beef and Broccoli recipe into a one pot meal! You will just need these two accessories. One stainless steel flat bottomed insert pan and a Stainless Steel Tall Legged Trivet/Steamer Rack.

If you would like to read more about the method, check out my Pressure Cooker Perfectly Cooked Pot In Pot Rice recipe for step by step instructions as you can make the rice on its own as well. I suggest rinsing the rice and placing it in the pan prior to starting this recipe, so that when you get to the part of adding in the trivet and pan, you are good to go.

 

Place Pan on Top of Trivet

Place Pan on Top of Trivet

Alternatively, if you are cooking for a crowd and need a larger portion of rice please use my Pressure Cooker White Rice recipe and cook the rice right in the cooking pot and make as much as you like.

Keep the lid on top of the rice to allow it to continue to steam and finish the cooking process. While the rice is steaming, go on to the next step. Your rice will be perfectly cooked by the time the beef is ready.

Remove the cover from the pan of rice and fluff. Your entire dinner has now been cooked in one pot, in under 15 minutes.

 

Add the Broccoli

Add the Broccoli

Another beauty of my Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli recipe is that you can cook the broccoli in the same pot as the beef and broccoli and it will be perfectly cooked and flavored with the fabulous sauce. Broccoli cooks so quickly and my method turns out cooked broccoli with just a bit of a bite, so no mushy broccoli here!

 

Drizzle on the Toasted Sesame Oil

Drizzle on the Toasted Sesame Oil

Toasted Sesame Oil is something used as a condiment. It adds a nice flavor, but is not necessary. Right before serving, if you like, add in a drizzle and give it a quick mix through.

Pro Tip: Toasted Sesame Oil is used after the food is cooked and adds extra flavoring. Pure Sesame Oil be lost.

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together sauce ingredients and set aside .
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine beef and Chinese Five Spice.  Massage into beef. 
  • Add potato starch to bowl and rub in completely.
  • Select Sauté/Browning on pressure cooker and allow to fully heat and then add Peanut Oil.
  • Add coated Beef to cooking pot and give it a good mix around, about 30 seconds total.
  • Add onions, broth and sauce and mix through to combine, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pot. Turn off pressure cooker.

Rice Option

  • Rinse rise well and place into stainless steel flat bottom insert pan. Set aside until needed. (Do this step before starting the recipe.)
  • Place tall legged trivet into cooking pot. (Otherwise, you are ready to pressure cook.)
  • Place pan of rice on top of trivet.
  • Pour in two cups of fresh water (or chicken broth) and cover with lid (only if the lid has steam holes).

Back to Cooking

  • Lock on lid and close pressure valve.  Cook at high pressure (most machines default to high pressure) for 3 minutes. 
  • When beep is heard, wait 10 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure.
  • Open lid and remove bowl of rice and trivet and set aside, so that it finishes steaming while you cook the broccoli.
  • Add broccoli and mix through. Select Sauté/Browning and simmer if desired for a softer broccoli and thicker sauce. 
  • Turn off heat and drizzle in Toasted Sesame Oil and stir.  Serve over rice.

Notes

For a less spicy version, add the red peppers when you add the broccoli.
Red peppers are very hot and just for flavoring. Most people push them aside.

Add Ins

  • Sliced carrots
  • Mushrooms
  • Water Chestnuts
Black/Sweet Soy Sauce is very thick and sweet, like molasses.  Please make sure your Black Soy Sauce is thick and sweet and not a strong and salty soy sauce often called "dark" soy sauce.
You can substitute the Sweet/Black Soy Sauce for Molasses or Brown Sugar and 1 teaspoon of Light Soy Sauce if you like, but I strongly advise against it, if you want authenticity.
A "rice" cup is the little plastic cup which comes with multi-cookers, pressure cookers and rice cookers. It is simply a cup (not a unit of measurement) used to measure raw rice. It is not a proper dry measuring cup. A "rice" cup measures similarly to a 3/4 dry measuring cup. [Nutrition calculation is without rice.]
For a delicious flavored rice, substitute 1/4 cup of Seasoned Rice Vinegar for 1/4 cup water.

    My third or 4th time making this and it gets better every time. Tonight is my first time making it with the Chinese Five Spice and so far the taste is amaZing. I love the smell of the spice too. You must make this with Jill’s (This Old Gal) pot in pot rice. I don’t make rice any other way now. In fact, I can’t stand boiling my rice. This recipe is fool proof and the rice is fluffy and never gummy or stuck together.

    Thank you for so many wonderful recipes! I see this recipe has been updated. No mention of sautéing the onions (and carrots) and is now suggested to add carrots when thickening the sauce. Do you recommend adding onions and carrots to pot raw?

    I followed d the directions but didn’t have regular Sesame Oil so I used Sunflower oil. The taste was great but a little too much cinnamon tasting. I can’t figure out where the cinnamon taste came from. I even bought the black soy sauce that was posted in the recipe. How do I tweak to taste less cinnamon?

    This was fantastic and will be added into my rotation of meals. I used bite sized pieces of boneless skinless chicken breasts and cooked for 3 mins. I did have to omit the Chinese peppers, as I could not find them, but we didn’t miss it. Also, I couldn’t find black soy sauce, so I used the sub (low sodium soy sauce + brown sugar) and it was still excellent! Another keeper!

    Hello Jill,
    I made this today, and took a special trip on my bike to get the black soy sauce. I found “thick soy sauce” with the key ingredient being molasses. So I think it’s an equivalent.
    I did the rice at the same time–absolute perfection!
    The problem I had was that the final result was very dark and had an bitterness to it. I don’t like the cloying sweetness of many Americanized Chinese dishes, but this seemed to be missing some sweetness. It was just too bitter. Your photos suggest it should all look brown. Mine was almost black.
    Any thoughts on what I might try? Because it’s worth trying again. I’m new to the IP.
    P.s. made your baked beans today, too. So good!

      Hi Jennifer~

      I agree with you on the cloying sweetness of Americanized Chinese dishes. Many home cooks use brown sugar, instead of authentic ingredients. I use the Healthy Boy Black Soy, which does not have molasses in it, but is thick like molasses. My guess would be the garlic caused bitterness. If sautéed for to long, it will burn and become bitter. When you brown the meat, it is important to keep it moving in the pot, so that the garlic won’t burn and then quickly add the liquid. That would be my guess. Let me know if you try it again, using this little tip. Jill

    Hi Jill,

    Thanks for sharing this recipe, I want to try it soon. I’m really interested in the dessert pans you used here. Can you tell me how else you use them? I am thinking cheesecakes..and flan? What other savory dishes can you use this for? What other pot in pot meals/recipes do you have? I’ve been seeing some butter chicken recipes on facebook and I’d like to have cardamom rice cooking at the same time but not sure if that is being too ambitious for a newbie like me.

    Thanks!

    How is this if I substitute Coconut Aminos for the soy sauce? We have a soy allergy at our house and heard this is a good substitute, although I’ve never actually tried it. I simply by pass any recipe with soy sauce, but I keep reading awesome reviews about this recipe!!

      Hi Christy, that is fine, but don’t sub the Black Soy for the Aminos. That would be a brown sugar sub.

    I would love to make this recipe with fresh chicken breast instead of beef. I was going to cut them up in chunks, so how would I change the cooking time? Would you sub out any of the other ingredients? Thank you!

      Hi Rachelle~

      If you are going to use chicken instead, then reduce the cook time to 3 minutes. Keep everything else the same.

    this was another winner !
    I did pot in pot – -I ordered the ric epot that came with the spice cups. Worked perfectly. so thrilled. it was a bit salty, and i used less sodium soy sauce, is there any way to cut down the salty flavor at all? doubling the rice portion helped..just curious. this was such delicious flavor, thank you for the recipe !

    Thank you for your recipes and ideas. You make familiarizing myself with my new IP easier. I’m wondering if I can use chicken instead of beef in this recipe. If so, what changes would you make? Would you cook it longer or less time? And how would that affect the rice if I want to make it in the same pot using your PIP method? I’m very new to IP. Thank you for help.

    Great recipe, thanks!

    FYI, the steamer rack stand you link to is only 2″ tall, even though it looks tall on Amazon. So far this is the only 3″ tall one I have found, and just ordered it so I can’t confirm.

      Hi Laura~

      The height of the steam rack I suggest is a good height. You need room to put in the pan.

    When is the GARLIC used? I woudl think the marinade but its not even clear fro the printed copy of the recipe what the ITEMS in the marinade are…?

      HW, it’s quite clear about the marinade. In the ingredients list, all the marinade ingredients are bundled together.

    Under instructions #3 in says: In a bowl mix together Soy Sauce, Black Soy, Chinese Five Spice, peppers and Chinese Five Spice (if using). Chinese Five Spice is listed twice. That cant be right! ?

    Any ideas for making and using cauliflower rice in the IP at the same time (pip) to use in place of rice? Need to watch my carbs. Thanks

    Excited to try this! I just heard about the Pot-In-Pot method for cooking rice at the same time as your main dish in the IP, just in a dish placed on top of the meat. Are you familiar with this method? Would it work for this dish?

      Hi Katie~

      I do pot in pot all the time. You sure could cook the rice at the same time in this recipe, using pot in pot.

    Hi.
    I am going to make this for dinner tonight. Are there any specifications for layering the ingredients if I want to cook the rice with the beef?
    Thanks!

      Hi Trevi~

      Just go a head and add in the rinsed rice with the correct amount of extra liquid/broth after you have marinated and sautéed. Then mix all together. I assume you will still want some “gravy” and not a dry dish.

      Thank you for your message. I am glad you liked this recipe. Which ingredients did you omit? I’m curious, in case others ask about omitting. 🙂

        I used tamari instead of the soy (both black and regular) honey instead of sugar, and I didn’t have 6 red peppers, just 2 jalapeños fresh out of the garden, used seeds and all!! Oh, and arrowroot to thicken. And I had a bok choy to use up, so put that in with the broccoli! Came out great!! Only my second IP meal – I’m one of the Prime Day people! Love you site and my new IP!!

          Great subs to get a similar taste. Sounds like you are going to be great at pressure cooking. 🙂

    Can you specify what you mean as the sub for the soy sauce? Do I add a tsp of soy sauce and the brown sugar to the 3 tbsp of soy sauce, or do I strictly use the 1 tsp of soy sauce and brown sugar instead of the dark soy sauce.

      Hello.

      The sub is for the Dark Soy Sauce, which is different than regular soy sauce. Dark Soy is thick and sweet. You would still use the regular soy sauce and to substitute for the Dark Soy Sauce, use 3 Tablespoons of molasses or brown sugar and one additional teaspoon of soy sauce.

          Hi Muriel~

          Black Soy Sauce is sweet, like molasses. If you want to use the Tamari, you might need to add a little sweetener, like brown sugar, but you could try.
