Mongolian Beef and Broccoli Recipe
We are back with another fun recipe that includes a few of our favorite flavors, Mongolian beef and broccoli, and rice. The rice is a must. Rice is super easy to make in the instant pot, so having it ready to go is pretty simple. If you don't know how to make rice in the instant pot, here is a quick 2 minute primer in video form; we will wait for you.
Asian inspired meals are always a request in our house, and the kids had been hounding us for a stir fry night. We gave in, and we went with a Mongolian Beef inspired saute with broccoli for nutrients. It was really good; all three of the kids asked for seconds, and that is a rare occurrence. Let's just dive right in; we hope you enjoy our Mongolian Beef and Broccoli Recipe.

That looks so good. I love Asian food, but I’ve never tried making it myself. I’ll have to give this a try. It looks pretty easy to make.
Beef and broccoli is one of my favorite chinese food dishes. It’d be great to be able to make it at home whenever I wanted. Thanks for sharing!

Honestly, I am jelly to cook this – I love beef and broccoli, but it is not a popular dish in my family. 🙁 I wish I could make this just for myself – I will keep the recipe handy for one of those alone-me time type lunches! Thank you so much for the beautiful tasty pictures!
This beef and broccoli recipe looks so delicious. I love using Minute Rice in my recipes and have for years. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe and I didn’t know it was National Rice Month.
I used to make a similar recipe years ago. You’ve inspired me to give it a try again and wouldn’t dream of having it without Minute Rice – our favorite rice! 🙂
Oh wow that looks delicious! I just bought some rice and broccoli today so this is probably what I’ll be making for dinner.
My husband love beef and brocolli. Speaking of which, it’s been a while since I made it so thanks for the inspiration, I might make some tomorrow.
I only eat “rice” made from cauliflower these days but I always use Minute Rice for my family when I make stir fried and other dishes like this. I’m going to give your beef and broccoli a try – one of my favorite combinations!
The recipe sounds really good, yet very simple to make. Thank you for sharing, Might make this for the kids soon.
Perfect timing! I was just thinking of searching for a beef and broccoli recipe after having a delicious one at the Chinese restaurant the other day. Thanks for the recipe!
Oh, I haven’t tried this. I will try it tomorrow, need to shop for supplies.
I love beef and broccoli, but I always get lazy and get those pre-made packages. Also, I’ll have to try yours out. Thanks for sharing this.
This looks really good! I love that you incorporated quick-cooking rice to make the entire meal easier.
I never used to be a fan of instant rice (my dad was a rice snob, really) but I love it now, it’s just so much more convenient and just as delicious. I’m trying to get my family to do more eastern food, it’s amazing.
Beef and broccoli is my favorite Chinese dish. I’ve always wanted to make this at home so I’m glad I came across your recipe! Looks good!
I love, love, love beef and broccoli! This looks like a great recipe and you really can’t go wrong with Minute Rice.
