Hey y'all!
Well, we've almost made it to Friday, and I've got a new recipe for you to try out this weekend! This Slow Cooker Broccoli Beef is soooooo good. Instead of heading to that Chinese buffet, stay home and mix this up instead.
I don't recall where I originally found this recipe, but I have made it several times in the crock-pot, and it's ALWAYS delicious. I decided a couple weekends ago to try this recipe using the Slow Cook option on my new Instant Pot®. It's supposed to cook just like a slow cooker on this setting. You keep the time and temperature the same as you would in a slow cooker and make sure that the lid is venting. I cooked the beef mixture in the Instant Pot® for 4.5 hours before adding the cornstarch and water mixture, and it worked out perfectly!
As you will see, this recipe calls for flank steak, but I have used different cuts, and as long as it is thinly sliced, it always seems to turn out good. This particular time I used bottom round steak. I have also cooked this both with and without the red chilli flakes. I personally like the little bit of spice that this gives it; however, I normally leave it out for the husband's sake.
I was very impressed with how well the Instant Pot® did on the slow cook setting, and I will be trying it out on other recipes that I would normally use my crock-pot for. Whether you use your trusty slow cooker or fancy new Instant Pot®, you really need to give this one a try. It won't disappoint!
