A salsa verde filling is made with beef that is seasoned with Mexican spices including cumin and cilantro. Onion powder, garlic powder, and salt are added. Salsa verde is the main component of the dish though.

You will use roughly a cup (8oz) of salsa verde when making this recipe along with beef broth.

What type of pressure cooker can I use to make Salsa Verde Beef filling?

You can use any type of pressure cooker you like. If you’re old-school, you can even use a stovetop model. For this recipe, we’ll be using the Instant Pot, but many digital pressure cookers are the same or very similar.

What are the Ingredients to Make Pressure Cooker Salsa Verde Beef Filling?

To make this salsa verde beef filling, you’ll need the following:

  • Vegetable oil
  • Ground beef
  • Garlic powder

How to make Instant Pot Salsa Verde Beef Filling

Now that you have gathered your ingredients it is time to make salsa verde beef filling. All you have to do is follow the steps below:

The first thing you’ll do is set your pressure cooker to the Saute setting. Add your vegetable oil and then your ground beef and seasonings.

Cook until the meat is halfway cooked and then turn off the saute function. Add the salsa verde and beef broth, stirring well.

Next, choose the High-Pressure setting and put the lid on the cooker, locking it in place. making sure the valve is shut. It will take time for the cooker to come up to pressure. Once it does, it will cook for four minutes.

Once the four minutes is over, use the quick release method by carefully opening the vent. Remove the lid, once the pressure is fully released, and serve over rice.

If you want to use for tacos or burritos, you can hit the Saute button again and cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid has reduced to the consistency you like.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

1. Drizzle oil into pressure cooker pot, select Saute, and set for 4 minutes. Once warm, add the ground beef and sprinkle in the garlic and onion powder, ground cumin seed, salt, and chopped cilantro and stir until well mixed. Continue to saute until meat is cooked almost through then cancel the Saute setting. Pour in the salsa verde then the beef broth. Place the lid on the pressure cooker, move the valve to Sealing and then select High Pressure and set for 4 minutes.

2. Once cooking time is up, do a quick release by carefully moving the valve to Venting. Once all of the pressure has been released, carefully open the pressure cooker away from your face.

 3. The beef will be very saucy at this point. Now, if you want to serve this over rice, you can go ahead and just serve as is. If you’re using for filling, then select Saute and set for 5 minutes and cook down until it reaches the consistency you’d like. Of course, for a drier filling, you’ll need to cook longer.

Notes
