Equipment
Instant Pot
Small bowl
6 inch pan
Ingredients
2
tablespoons
minced garlic
1/2
teaspoon
ginger paste
1/2
cup
low sodium soy sauce
1/4
cup
lightly packed brown sugar
1/2
teaspoon
red pepper flakes
1
tablespoon
olive oil
1
pound
lean ground beef
1/2
medium yellow onion
diced
1
cup
water
1
cup
long grain white rice
rinsed
1
tablespoon
Everything But the Bagel seasoning blend
optional, for garnish
green onion
chopped, optional, for garnish
Instructions
Combine the garlic, ginger paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté and add the oil. Once oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook until meat is browned. Add the chopped onion.
Add sauce and stir to coat the meat mixture.
Place the trivet in the inner pot. Add 1 cup of water and 1 cup of rice to a small pan and place on the trivet.
Close the lid, turn to lock it and set the pressure valve to Sealing. Cook on High for 8 minutes.
Allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Then carefully turn the pressure valve to Venting and quick release any remaining pressure.
Carefully remove the pan of rice.
If the sauce is thin, cook for a few more minutes on Saute mode, until the sauce has thickened.
Garnish with Everything But the Bagel seasoning and green onion if using.
Notes
We recommend using lean ground beef. If you use a fattier blend, be sure to drain off any excess grease before adding the sauce.
Substitute ground turkey or chicken for the hamburger.
A 6-inch pan works well with the 6-quart Instant Pot pressure cooker.
If you don't want to make the rice, omit those ingredients and steps and proceed as directed.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Serving options: lettuce wraps or cups, beef bowls with steamed veggies or over cauliflower rice.
