Instant Pot German Skillet Dinner
Ingredients
- 2 lb hamburger or ground turkey
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil (I use Avocado Oil)
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp seasoned salt
- ½ cup beef broth
- ¾ cup uncooked white rice (NOT instant rice)
- 14 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 small red or green cabbage cored and chopped
- 1 Tbsp butter (optional)
Instructions
- Turn pot on Sauté (More mode) and wait until the pot says Hot.
- Gather your ingredients an begin prepping. This recipe goes very fast. So, chop your onion and cabbage. Measure your seasoned salt and garlic. Open your can of tomatoes and get ready to cook. See Note Below*
- When your pot say Hot, go ahead and add your oil. Then you can add the hamburger, crumble meat and begin browning it. Then add your chopped onions and seasoned salt or salt pepper to taste. When meat is browning, you can add your garlic and cook 1-2 min.
- After you are done browning your meat, you can drain if necessary. Then deglaze your pot with beef broth. Add your raw, uncooked regular white rice and make sure it is poked down a bit into the liquid.
- Now layer your diced tomatoes over the top and DO NOT STIR.
- Add all of your chopped cabbage on top. If you choose, you can add 1 Tbsp of butter, this just add a great flavoring and butters your cabbage. DO NOT STIR and close the pot. Set your pot to sealing if your pot requires that.
- Set pot to Pressure Cook for 6 min with a 10 min NPR.
- When pot has finished cooking and you have done your NPR, you can release the rest of the pressure. Stir your food, taste and season additionally if necessary.
Notes
If you like a bit of the German Sauerbraten tang, add 1-2 Tbsp red wine vinegar. Totally up to you. My kids prefer it without the vinegar, but you can also serve it on the side for those who do like it.
With the cooking time on this recipe, the cabbage will be very well done and soft. I typically chop the cabbage and leave it in chunks. I don't break it apart before putting it in the pot. It's still very soft, but holds together much better.
