Equipment
- InstantPot
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 TBS coconut oil
- 1 large onion
- 1 bunch celery
- 1 TBS fresh minced garlic
- 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 lb carrots
- 3 large white potatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- fresh parsley to garnish optional, only if you're feeling fancy
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set your InstantPot to saute, and add coconut oil.
- When the coconut oil is melted, add ground beef; break apart and brown. ***
- While meat is browning, begin chopping your vegetables.
- When meat is mostly browned, add onions, celery, and garlic to caramelize a bit while you continue to chop the other vegetables.
- Add other ingredients (except fresh parsley, if using) as you get them chopped.
- When everything is added, put the lid on your InstantPot to seal, and set it to 'Pressure Cook' for 8 minutes.
- When the timer goes off, release the pressure, garnish with fresh parsley if you're using it, and serve!
Notes
*** Depending on the fat ratio of the ground meat you're using, browning can yield a lot of fat. If you don't like the look, taste, or texture of fat- drain it off at this point. You can use a serving spoon, or my special trick- a turkey baster!
