Instant Pot Beef Chili | PALEO, Whole30

Servings: 4
Calories: 471kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces (or substitute for ground beef)
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 14.5 oz can tomato sauce
  • 4 oz can diced green chiles
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 red or white onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 3 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp cooking fat
  • pinch salt, to tast

Garnish: sliced avocado, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, Whole30 compliant ranch

    Instructions

    • Set the Instant Pot to "sauté" mode.  Once the metal insert is hot, melt a tablespoon of cooking fat (I like avocado oil).
    • Add the beef, cooking until browned on each side (don't worry about cooking it through).
    • Add the bell peppers and onions, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until just softened.
    • Stir in the tomato paste, minced garlic, and spices, and give it a good stir.
    • Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chiles, and coconut aminos.  Stir until combined then place the lid on top of the Instant Pot.
    • Make sure the lid is locked and the vent is set to "sealing".  Cook on "meat/stew" (high pressure) for 15 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally.  (You can also release manually if you're pressed for time.)
    • Season with additional salt to taste, and serve hot with your choice of garnishes on top.  Enjoy!

    Notes

    • SLOW COOKER:  To make this in your slow cooker, complete steps 1 and 2 on the stovetop in a large skillet.  Transfer the meat and vegetables to the slow cooker, add the remaining ingredients, and give it a good stir.  Cook on "low" for 6 to 8 hours.
    • This makes an excellent "meal prep" dish that you can serve in a variety of ways!  We love it served straight from the bowl, or scooped over a baked russet or sweet potato.
