Instant Pot Ground Beef Shwarma and Rice combines ground beef and rice with spices to create a new twist on comfort food in your pressure cooker.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup diced onion
5 cloves garlic
1 pound ground beef
1 and 1/2 cups water or broth
1 and 1/2 cups basmati rice, rinsed and drained
4 cups shredded cabbage
3 tablespoons shawarma spice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Turn your Instant Pot onto Sauté on high. When the display reads HOT, add oil. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Add onions and ground beef. Stir while breaking up the ground beef clumps. Don’t worry about cooking the beef at this stage, just break it up well. Note, if you have ANYTHING sticking to the bottom of the Instant Pot, pour in 1/4 cup of water and thoroughly deglaze the bottom of your pot.
Add rice, water, cabbage, salt, and shawarma spice.
Cook on High Pressure for five minutes, and allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure.

Brown Rice I’d like to use brown rice. Does that require more liquid? More time?
Brown rice generally requires on its own approx 40 minutes cook time and about 1 and 1/4 cup for each cup of rice. I would follow the time the instant pot provides for brown rice.
