Instant Pot Ginger Beef Sir Fry is ready after 7 minutes under pressure and done before you can even order take out!
My Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli has been one of the most popular posts on the blog since it was published, and I myself have even made it on repeat for years!
With only 7 minutes under pressure, then adding in your veggies, these Instant Pot stir fry recipes have become quite popular.
This recipe is a mild variation of my Air Fryer Asian Style Beef and Veggies. I ran with the same flavor profile but turned the crispy version into a saucy stir fry!
The key thing to note about this recipe (and the beef and broccoli recipe) is that you don't add the veggies into the pressure cycle.
The beef and the veggies do not have the same cook time and putting them all together is going to get you some serious veggies mush, not the saucy coated al dente veggies you want!
What you want to do here is cook your beef under pressure (7 minutes), then when you thicken the sauce, you add the veggies. Super easy!
