Brown the remaining stew meat, then remove it and set aside.

Add the diced onion to the Instant Pot and let it soften for a minute.

Add the browned beef back into the pot along with salt and pepper (about 1 teaspoon each).

Add 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1.5 teaspoons of grated ginger, 3 teaspoons of garlic paste, and 1 tablespoon of honey to the pot.

Pour in 3 cups of beef broth and stir to combine.

Close the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the valve is closed, and set it to manual for 25 minutes.

While waiting, prepare 2 heads of broccoli by cutting off the florets and breaking larger pieces in half.

After 25 minutes, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes before opening the lid.

Add the raw broccoli florets to the soup and stir them in, allowing the heat to cook the broccoli for a couple of minutes.
