Instant Pot Beef And Rice Pilaf With Vegetables Food

INSTANT POT RICE PILAF - UZBEK BEEF PLOV

Steps:

• Press the Sauté button on your pressure cooker. When the display shows HOT add the oil. Add the beef and brown it well from all sides, stirring frequently.
• Now add the chopped onion and sauté until softened. Press Cancel to stop the Sauté mode. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the salt, the black pepper, paprika, cumin, coriander and add the bay leaves. Add 1 cup of water and stir to loosen up any browned bits from the bottom.
• Close the Instant Pot lid, turn the pressure valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. This will tenderize the beef. Quick release the pressure after cooking.
• Open the lid. Stir in the carrots. Then spread the rice over top (DON'T stir) and sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of salt over the rice. Slowly pour in the remaining 2 cups of water. Push the garlic head halves into the rice.
• Close the lid again and pressure cook on high for 6-8 more minutes (use your usual rice cooking time. For me that is 6 minutes for Jasmine rice). Quick release the pressure after cooking.
• Open the lid and remove the garlic and bay leaves. Stir everything gently to combine the meat, carrots, and rice.

INSTANT POT BEEF AND RICE PILAF

Steps:

• Turn on the Instant Pot. Using the "Saute" function on the Instant Pot, adjust the heat to "More". Add the oil and when the oil is hot, brown the beef in batches, until golden brown on both sides.
• Don't crowd the beef. If you add too much beef, it will begin to steam and you won't get a sear on the meat. As you brown on batch of meat, remove it from the Instant Pot and set it aside in another bowl. If the bottom of the Instant Pot starts to burn, pour in a bit of water, scrape out the burned bit, pour out the water, wipe out the inner chamber and start again.
• When you start a new batch of beef browning in the Instant Pot, add a bit more oil, enough to cover the bottom of the pot, and heat it up until the oil is shimmering again before adding the beef. This should happen very quickly.
• When you have browned all the beef (just get it brown on the outside, it will still be raw in the center), add more oil, if needed, heat it again and add the onions, carrots and garlic. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
• Mix to combine and cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
• Return the beef to the Instant Pot and season with more salt, ground black pepper, paprika, cumin and other dry herbs or seasoning blends that you like.
• Pour in about 2 1/2 cups of water, enough to just cover the meat and vegetables. Add the bay leaf. Cover the Instant Pot with the lid. Turn the valve to "Sealing".
• Turn on the "Manual" mode, high pressure, for 15 minutes.
• Use the quick release option to release the pressure and open the Instant Pot.
• Remove the bay leaf and discard.
• Add the rice, spreading it out on top of the meat and vegetables, being careful not to mix it in too much, leaving it on the top layer.
• Pour in another 2 1/2 cups of hot water on top of the rice, once again being careful not to disturb the rice too much. Add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Cover the Instant Pot again and turn the valve to "Sealing".
• Turn on the "Manual" mode, High Pressure, for 3 minutes. When the Instant Pot turns off, let it stand for 3-5 minutes and then use the Quick Release option to release the pressure and open the Instant Pot. Use a fork to fluff up the rice and mix the rice with the beef and vegetables.

INSTANT POT BEEF AND RICE PILAF WITH VEGETABLES RECIPE

Steps:

• Press the SAUTE button on your Instant Pot. After it heats up, add in the oil. Heat the oil for 1 minute, then add in the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the onions become tender.
• Add in the beef pieces, tomato sauce, beef broth, pepper, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and steak seasoning. Stir all together. Place the bay leaf on top.
• Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the valve to the SEALING position.
• Press the PRESSURE COOK (or MANUAL) button on the Instant Pot and set the timer for 40 minutes. When the timer is done, switch the valve over to VENTING and do a quick release of the pressure (you can also let it do a natural release if you have time).
• Remove the lid and pull out the bay leaf.
• Pour the rice over the top of everything (don't stir it together) and using the back of a spoon, spread it around evenly. All of the rice should be covered with liquid.
• Press the halves of the garlic down into the rice (cut side down touching the rice). Place the lid back on the Instant Pot. Move the valve back to SEALING. Press the PRESSURE COOK (or MANUAL) button and set the timer for 15 minutes.
• When the cooking time is over, let the Instant Pot do a natural release for 15 minutes (let the pressure release on it's own). When the time is up, move the valve to VENTING and allow the rest of the pressure to leave the pot.
• Open the lid, remove the garlic. Add in the fresh parsley and then fluff the rice with a fork and gently stir all the ingredients together.
• Serve and enjoy!
