Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Start by setting your Instapot to the sauté setting.

Step 2

Add 2 T of coconut oil to your instapot and let it coat the bottom.

Step 3

Prepare your aromatics. Finely dice your onion, shallot and the single leaf clove of garlic. Add to the instapot and saute lightly in the coconut oil stirring to cover the bottom of the pot.

Step 4

Cube your meat into bite size morsels. Add to the instapot and stir with the aromatics to begin a quick sear process.

Step 5

Add your herbs. Sprinkle 2 T. Herbs de Provence, 1 T. Sage, 1 ts. Onion Powder. Add Salt and Pepper (to taste, typically we use 1 ts. salt and half a ts. pepper) on your meat and aromatics.

Step 6

Stir beef and onions with the herbs to thoroughly coat the meat with the herbs while on sauté.

Step 7

Prep the Veg, adding each while still being sautéed. You will stir after each ingredient has been added.

Step 8

Dice your carrots, and add to the instapot and beef. Stir.

Step 9

Slice your celery the long way down the stems to separate. Slice these into bite sized slices. You can also dice the leafy tops, and add those for extra goodness! Stir.

Step 10

Add 2 cups of finely riced cauliflower. I buy bags of either frozen or pre-riced cauliflower to make this easier, but you could also take cauliflower florets and add to a food processor to finely chop into rice size piece. Regardless, add roughly 2 cups of riced cauliflower and stir.

Step 11

Sauté for 2 minutes.

Step 12

Add the 1 can of 4 ounces of mushrooms (liquid and all, do not drain)

Step 13

Add 1 large container (32 ounces) and another cup (8 ounces) of beef bone broth and stir to gently pull up all the good bits of meat that have cooked onto the pan. Sams choice (Walmart) has bone broth that is relatively inexpensive.

Step 14

The key here is to make sure that your meat and veggies are fully submersed into broth. If not, add a bit of water.

Step 15

Add 1 tablespoon of beef bouillon, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Stir.

Step 16

Turn off your instapot from the sauté setting.

Step 17

Cover your pressure cooker and set to 15 minutes on high pressure.

Step 18

It will take roughly 10 minutes to pressurize. Hissing sounds are normal during the process.

Step 19

Pressure Cook for 15 minutes.

Step 20

Slow Release for 10 minutes. When pressure cooking is done, your pressure cooker will begin the slow release process. This is just a fancy term for "let it do its thing" for 10 minutes. During this time, the pressure slowly is releasing from the pressure cooker and the contents are still cooking, so please don't skip this step. Let it have its 10 minutes to chill.
