6 Fast & Tasty Instant Pot Recipes for Grass Fed Beef

Fast & Tasty instant pot recipes for grass fed beef

The Instant Pot was an instant success when it hit the market in the early 2010’s, and it hasn’t lost steam with time-conscious foodies since. It’s beloved because it combines key features of several staple appliances (the pressure cooker, the slow cooker, the rice cooker, the steamer, and the warmer) into one convenient, compact package.

One of the best foods to prepare in an Instant Pot is beef, as it cooks evenly and is infused with a ton of flavor—all in limited time.

In this easy take on a French slow-cooked classic, beef bourguignon is made in an Instant Pot in only one hour. (Yes, you read that right!) If Julia Child were alive today, she would be an Instant Pot spokeswoman. Try the recipe via Creme de la Crumb, and make sure to use our grass fed chuck arm roast, a cut that stands up beautifully to the rigors of pressure roasting.

With a name like Pressure Cooking Today, this site is clearly an authority on yummy pressure-cooked meals. A popular entry is their Beef and Broccoli recipe, which can be made with a chuck arm roast or a London Broil. A healthier take on this recipe is to serve over zoodles (zucchini noodles) instead of rice.
