  • While the beef cooks, steam or boil broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes. The broccoli should be tender, but still slightly crisp.
  • Carefully quick release pressure once the 10 minutes is up, guarding your hand with a dish towel or oven mitt.
  • If you're using it, combine ½ tablespoon of arrowroot powder with just a little bit of cold water. Add this mixture to the beef and stir to thicken the sauce.
