Instructions
Place broccoli crowns and 1 cup of water in the instant pot, add the lid and set to high pressure for one minute. Once the instant pot comes to pressure, release the pressure and remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon. Transfer to a plate. You are NOT allowing the broccoli to cook for the full minute, just to come to pressure.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add ingredients to the instant pot and cover. Set to high pressure for 12 minutes.
