I love this recipe, because while the beef cooks under pressure in the Instant Pot, the broccoli is added in the end and only cooks for a couple minutes. So the broccoli still has a bit of crunch to it, and a wonderful fresh flavor.

Can I Use Frozen Broccoli?
Yes! You can make this soup with fresh broccoli, or you can use frozen broccoli florets or pieces. Whichever you have on hand, will work just fine. Either way, your soup will taste amazing!
I’ll admit, it took me a bit to warm up to using an Instant Pot (no pun intended.) But now that I have played around with it a bit and learned more about its capabilities and limitations, I am finding it to be a great tool for the kitchen.
Another one of my favorite dishes to make in the Instant Pot is my Peppered Beef. You want to talk about a gorgeous hunk of chuck roast!
Cooking meats under pressure allows the meat to get cooked and tender, but without breaking down the structure to the point of it just turning into “mush” in your mouth.
The beef in this soup has that wonderful flavor, as you give it a quick sear to brown it a bit. Then in goes the broth, garlic, ginger and other seasonings and the pressure does the rest.
The broccoli gets stirred in at the very end and simply cooks in the hot soup for a couple minutes. I think broccoli is one of the quickest-cooking vegetables out there.

- Enjoy!
