Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 kg extra lean ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 8 mushrooms chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 can kidney beans drained/rinsed
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 4 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE mode and add the ONION, BELL PEPPER & MUSHROOMS with a pinch of sea salt. Saute until vegetables are starting to get soft.
  • Add the tomato paste and the garlic. Mix together and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the lean ground beef. Break it up, mix it all together and cook until beef is starting to brown.
  • Once beef is almost all browned, add the spices. Mix together and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, broth and fish sauce with another pinch of sea salt. Mix together well.
  • Follow instructions to set the Instant Pot to PRESSURE COOK on high pressure and the time for 15 minutes.
  • Stand back and hope your Instant Pot doesn’t blow up.
  • When it beeps, either let the pressure release on it’s on slowly or hit the steam valve to vent and let it release quickly if you’re ready to eat.
  • Add toppings like green onion or avocado if you’re trying to be fancy and think you’re better than everyone (as we did last night).

Notes

You could also make this same recipe in a regular pot (how boring…) or a slow cooker. For the slow cooker you would just set it to high for 4-6 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
