Get My Meal Plans NOW!How to make Beef and Rice Pilaf with Vegetables:
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. Saute 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!
