Instant Pot Ground Beef

Step 1

Cover bottom of pot with 1 cup cold water for a 6 quart instant pot and 1.5 cups of cold water for an 8 quart instant pot. Add in trivet and place frozen or fresh ground meat directly on trivet.

Step 2

Put the lid on the Pressure Cooker and turn valve to seal.

Step 3

Set to High Pressure for 20 minutes if frozen, 6 minutes if fresh.

Step 4

Once finished cooking, let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes and then do a quick release of any remaining pressure. Check temperature with meat thermometer--it should be 160-165 degrees. If it is not, seal again and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Carefully remove trivet from Instant Pot.  Discard cooking liquid and grease and break up ground beef using a spatula into desired size. Use as desired.
