(Inside: In our house, we do a lot of Gluten-Free Instant Pot Beef Broccoli. It’s literally one of our favorites–right next to other Asian meals that are heavy on the yum. For whatever reason, my kids love broccoli served this way–so maybe yours will too.)
My kids are mutants.
They like broccoli.
Steamed, cheesed, buttered, sprinkled with salt, raw, boiled, sautéed and fricasseed (what the heck is fricasseed anyway?!).
They.
Are.
Mutants.
Also, we all love a good beef-steeped-in-soy sauce.
So good.
So, we found an amazing gluten-free soy sauce and I make, on almost a weekly rotation, Gluten-Free Instant Pot Beef Broccoli.
One of the best recipes I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying from my Instant Pot, because it’s so easy–but so rich, it’s like we got take-out.
Dude. This Gluten-Free Instant Pot Beef Broccoli is totally worth the try–even if you aren’t sure your kids are going to enjoy the broccoli.
I mean, don’t we have to serve them the broccoli all the time before they’ll be willing to try it?
Isn’t that one of the tactics your mom used? Mine sure did.
Mine even did the “eat one bite” thing.
And now I love broccoli.
Ok, so let’s go forth and try to come up with ideas to get our kids to enjoy veggies.
No more hiding them (just kidding) or slathering them in cheese (just kidding) or basically letting them loose without greens (also just kidding)!
Since none of those three things are really something that can be done outside of our mom-fantasy world, go ahead and pin this awesome recipe for Gluten-Free Instant Pot Beef Broccoli.
That way you can either actually make it–and hope your kids love the broccoli (as I hope my kids aren’t mutants for eating them) or you can just scroll past it in your pins occasionally so that you can be sad your kids would never eat it because it touched the broccoli.
