Ingredients
- 1. A pound of lean ground beef, exceptionally trimmed,
- 2. Half a teaspoon of salt, with a hint of sea breeze,
- 3. Equally, half a teaspoon of freshly crushed black peppercorns,
- 4. Three-quarters of a cup of finely chopped onion, like confetti,
- 5. A teaspoon of finely minced garlic, releasing its aroma,
- 6. Divided into one and a quarter cups, the essence of chicken broth,
- 7. One cup of finely diced crimson bell pepper, vibrant as a sunset,
- 8. A cup of pearl couscous from the land of Israel,
- 9. One teaspoon of dried parsley, reminiscent of a summer garden,
- 10. A teaspoon of soy sauce, the low-sodium variety like a whisper of flavor,
- 11. A dash of red pepper flakes, to titillate the taste buds,
- 12. A package of baby spinach, a verdant addition for those who desire.
Step 1
To begin, fire up your trusty multi-functional pressure cooker (like the famous Instant Pot®) and opt for the Saute function to warm things up. Toss in the ground beef and generously season it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it sizzle and stir until the beef transforms into a beautiful brown and crumbly texture, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Then, introduce the onions to the mix and sauté until they turn soft and somewhat see-through, which should take approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add the garlic and let it dance in the pot until its lovely aroma fills the air, usually about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Now, it's time to add a touch of flair to the dish. Pour in 1/4 cup of chicken broth to deglaze the pot and let it simmer and reduce for about 3 minutes. Follow this up by incorporating the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth, red pepper, pearl couscous, fresh parsley, a dash of soy sauce, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Mix everything together until the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 3
Seal the deal by closing and locking the lid of the pressure cooker. Opt for high pressure per your cooker's instructions and set the timer for a tantalizing 6 minutes. Allow the pressure to build up, usually taking around 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4
When the time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method as per your cooker's guidelines, which typically takes about 5 minutes. Unlock the lid and throw in a handful of vibrant spinach. Give it a good stir, then loosely cover the pot with the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the couscous to soak up the remaining liquid. Before serving, taste a spoonful and adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt if your taste buds desire.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your pantry organized by grouping similar items together. This will make it easier to find the ingredients you need for your Instant Pot® Beef and Couscous Delight.
- 2. Utilize clear jars or containers to store grains like couscous and rice. Not only does this keep your pantry looking tidy, but it also allows you to easily see when you're running low on a particular ingredient.
