Just LOOK AT THAT! It’s just as good as it looks – actually EVEN BETTER! This recipe is great because it is dump & go, which is a big deal for me. I don’t like a ton of complicated steps. I want things easy enough that I can pass dinner off to the kids while I wrap up things here in the office.

Here are some commonly asked questions
What kind of meat do I need to make Beef Broccoli?
Many people will use flank steak that is sliced across the grain. I have done that in the past with great results. But this time I was quite pleased with this thinly sliced carne asada. It was all I could find at the store & I was already picking some up for another recipe. It really turned out great.

What if I don’t have a pressure cooker?
Good news! I you can try my slow cooker beef broccoli which is just as easy. It is a family favorite.
Can I use my Instant Pot to make the rice too?
Yes you can. I would suggest that you make it before making the beef broccoli & just transfer the cooked rice to another bowl while making the beef.
