This Instant Pot Korean ground beef is one of the absolute easiest Instant Pot recipes you can make! It's simple, quick and ready in about 30 minutes. Whether you're a new Instant Pot user or a seasoned pro, I think you'll love this quick and easy dinner.

I'm always looking for new easy ground beef recipes to make. Instant Pot taco meat is frequently on the menu, especially after my daughter gets her braces adjusted, and even though it's a family favorite, I like to change things up now and then.

When I saw this stovetop Korean Beef recipe on our monthly meal plan, I knew I had to make a similar version in the pressure cooker. It reminds me of Korean BBQ beef from our local Asian takeout.

You guys, my family loved this Korean beef! Seriously, they think it's one of the best ground beef recipes ever, which is definitely a compliment.

It's a little bit sweet, a little bit salty and has just the right amount of spice, thanks to a touch of sriracha sauce. You'll want to add this easy ground beef dinner to your regular meal rotation!

How do you make Korean beef in the Instant Pot pressure cooker?

Start out by browning the ground beef in the Instant Pot I use very lean ground beef, so I don't usually drain the meat, but you can if you want. Then, stir in a few seasonings.

Next, add some beef broth, and deglaze the pot if you need to. Then, add some brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and sriracha sauce, and pressure cook it!

You can do a quick release or allow a natural release while you get your sides ready. And that's it!

What do you serve with Korean Beef?

We love Instant Pot Korean beef over jasmine rice. I just make a batch of rice in my other Instant Pot while the beef is cooking. I serve it with a side of broccoli and maybe some frozen egg rolls.

You could also do lettuce wraps for a low carb version or make it into a stir fry with noodles and veggies.

Notes

Recipe was made in 6-quart Instant Pot electric pressure cooker.

I use lean or extra lean beef, so I usually don't need to drain grease. You can drain the meat if you need to before adding seasonings.
