To begin making Korean Beef and Rice I poured some olive oil into the Instant Pot and then turned it to Saute Less for 7 minutes.

Then I added in the ground beef.

I broke up the ground beef while it was cooking and when it started to brown I added in the garlic, salt and pepper.

When the Instant Pot turned off the beef was still slightly pink.

I added in some water and used it to deglaze the Pot.  Scraping any brown bits off the bottom is a very important step so that you avoid the Burn message while the Pot is coming to pressure.

Next I sprinkled in the long grain rice and pushed it down into the liquid.  I Did Not Stir.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 6 minutes.

While the beef and rice were cooking I prepared the sauce by combining brown sugar, corn starch, soy sauce, ground ginger and chili peppers into a small mixing bowl.  

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking I immediately turned the steam release handle to the venting position and did a Quick Release.  

After removing the lid I stirred the contents well and added the sauce.

I stirred the contents again until all were coated with the sauce.

Then I added in the green onions and folded them into the beef and rice mixture.  

I served this meal immediatley.

Instant Pot Korean Beef and Rice is an appealing meal that is full of flavour.  If desired top with sesame seeds before serving.
