Set the Instant Pot to saute on high for 5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 pound beef strips. Cook, stirring frequently until beef is browned.
Turn off saute and add 3 cups beef broth. Deglaze the pan to remove stuck bits of beef from the bottom. Layer 9 oz dry ramen noodles evenly over the beef.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ⅔ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, 8 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon white pepper and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Pour sauce over the beef and noodles.
Place 1 pound fresh broccoli florets on top of the noodles. Close and seal the pressure cooker lid. Set to pressure cook/manual on high for 1 minute.
Quickly release the pressure when done. Open the lid, toss well and sprinkle with desired amount of sesame seeds.
Soy sauce and beef broth can be high in sodium, so salt is optional.
For a spicy version, add a drop of Sriracha to individual bowls.
