Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Press “Sauté” on your Instant Pot, heat a drizzle of oil, add ground beef with salt and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes until browned and fragrant.
  2. Toss in diced onion, carrots, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté 2–3 minutes more until veggies soften.
  3. Pour in soy sauce and Worcestershire, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir for 1 minute.
  4. Add rinsed long-grain rice and beef broth. Gently stir to distribute ingredients, ensuring rice is fully submerged.
  5. Secure the lid, set valve to “Sealing,” choose High Pressure for 6 minutes.
  6. Allow a 10-minute natural pressure release. Carefully switch valve to “Venting” to release remaining steam.
  7. Open lid, fluff rice with a fork, then stir in frozen peas until warmed. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle red chili flakes for a spicy kick.
