Ingredients

Serves 4

Active Time 10 minutes

Saute; Pressure/Manual (High) Natural/Quick Release

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen mirepoix, or ½ cup each diced yellow onion, diced bell pepper, and diced celery
  • 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
  • 1 cup basmati rice, rinsed and drained

  3. When the oil is hot, add the mirepoix and ground beef
  4. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to break up the clumps of meat
  5. Don’t worry about cooking the beef fully at this stage; you just want to break it up so it’s not one big piece of meat

  7. Stir well to combine
  8. Select CANCEL
  9. Stir in the water
  10. Secure the lid on the pot
