Instructions
- Place a trivet or steam basket inside the pressure cooker pot.
- Add one cup of water or the minimum liquid requirement for your pressure cooker. I used a 6 quarts pressure cooker.
- Add frozen ground beef on top of the trivet, no need to break it down. If you have longer pieces that don't fit, break them in 2 so you can place them on the trivet.
- Place the lid and lock it, make sure to close the sealing valve.
- Pressure cook on high pressure for 20 minutes for 1lb and 23 minutes for 2lbs of meat.
- Once the program is done, do a 5-minute Natural Pressure Release, after that open the valve to release the remaining pressure.
- Using an instant-read kitchen thermometer, take the temperature of your meat, it should be about 160F-165F.
- Poke the center and see if it's still raw, if the meat is still undercooked, transfer it to a bowl, and in the meantime discard the liquid from the inner pot.
- Select sauté mode, once hot add one tablespoon of oil, add the beef, break it down with a wooden spoon, and brown it until done.
- Season with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning if using. If the beef seems a bit dry, add 1 tablespoon of warm beef broth and mix.
- Serve or use in other recipes when ready.
