Instant Pot Rice (Beef Plov)

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups short grain brown rice, 500 grams, rinsed and drained*
1 lb beef chuck or beef stew meat, cut into 3/4" pieces**
4 Tbsp olive oil
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 large onion, diced
3 large carrots, thickly julienned
3 cups 720 ml very warm water
1 Tbsp salt, we used fine sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground paprika
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 whole head garlic, unpeeled, cut in half crosswise.

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse and drain rice and set aside.  Set Instant pot to sauté on high heat (push sauté twice to switch to high heat) and add 4 Tbsp olive oil.  Once oil is hot (but not smoking), add beef in a single layer and sauté until lightly browned (5 min), stirring occasionally. Add 4 Tbsp butter and chopped onion and stir 3 minutes until softened.  Add julienned carrots along with all seasonings (1 Tbsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp coriander) and sauté 5 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Spread rice evenly over the top (do not stir).  Push garlic halves cut-side-down, halfway into the rice.  Pour very warm (or hot) water directly over the garlic cloves so you don't disturb the rice.  Use the back of a wooden spoon to poke 5-7 holes through the rice to the bottom of the pot (this helps disburse flavor).

Cover and cook on high pressure 30 min (I used the "Multigrain" setting).  Let instant pot rest and naturally depressurize 10 min before switching to the venting position to release steam.  Make sure the steam is fully released and the pressure valve has floated down before opening the pot.  Remove garlic and set aside.  Stir rice well to combine ingredients. We squeeze the garlic cloves back into the pot because they are melt-in-your mouth delicious.

SERVINGS: 8 as a side dish

RECIPE NOTES: 

*We used organic short grain brown rice (I buy the bag sold in Costco)
**The meat will brown easier if you leave it at room temperature 30 minutes before starting to cook it.

Above recipe prepared on 01-12-2023 and was "off the chain good!". 

The only modifications I made as follows:  Used 2.7 lbs of beef rump roast and coated with my Wild Bill's Meat Rub and left out 1/2 of the whole head of garlic.  My bride doesn't handle garlic taste too well.
