Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat a pressure cooker on the Sauté function for 2 minutes. Cook the carrots and celery in 1 tbsp (15 ml) of the oil for 5 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Add the jar of marinara sauce.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a large skillet over high heat, brown the beef in the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the onion and garlic. Continue to cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to the pressure cooker. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and select the Meat function. Set the machine to cook for 40 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Let the pressure release naturally (about 15 minutes). Once the pressure is released, remove the lid. Adjust the seasoning. Add the basil. Serve with mashed potatoes, if desired.
