Instant Pot Beef And Rice Pilaf 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 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!
