About
A quick and easy way to cook ground beef is in an Instant Pot. A delicious low carb sauce made of sherry wine, soy sauce, garlic, and sambal is sauteed together with the ground beef and topped with fresh scallions and sesame seeds. A simple dish like this is perfect for a weeknight meal or meal prep as it holds well in the fridge for several days and reheats nicely.
What kind of ground beef should I use?
80% of grass-fed lean ground beef is excellent on the Keto diet due to the higher saturated fat content.
Can I make multiple batches at a time?
Yes, this recipe is straightforward to double or triple. Keep in mind, the more you double a recipe, the longer it will take to reduce the liquid down to glaze the meat. If a lot of liquid is released at the beginning of the cooking process, simply pour some of it off.
How should I cut the scallions?
The scallions should be cut into 1” pieces as it gives a nice texture to the finished dish.
