I am excited to bring you yet another Big List of Instant Pot recipes. This time around, it's for beef!

The Instant Pot is perfect for creating hearty beef dishes that everyone will love.

This post contains affiliate links. For more information, see my disclosure.

Some of the tastiest dishes I've made are with beef. If I could make only one thing in the Instant Pot it would be my French Dip Sandwiches. Perfect, fall-apart tender roast between toasted buns and some delicious melted cheese on top.

Yes, please!

If you're running short on time and want a quick meal for your family, there are some great options on this Big List, including my own Cheesy Beef and Bowtie Pasta and Creamy Beef and Macaroni Casserole. Both family favorites!

So if beef is what you're looking to master in the Instant Pot, this is the list for you! From pasta and beef dishes to roasts, to soups to sandwiches, this list has it all!

Instant Pot Beef Recipes

I have divided these beef recipes into categories, so you can quickly find what you're looking for. Enjoy!

Eye of Round

Eye of round is a value cut of meat, is very lean, and can be very tough if not cooked just right. It's so tough, in fact, that it's called "Mano de Piedra" in my home country of Honduras. This translates to "Stone Hand". I remember growing up in Honduras, it was a cut of meat used often at my house.

While it's ideal for marinating and grilling, you can make some great dishes with it in the Instant Pot. Actually, as a tough cut of meat, Eye of Round is perfect for cooking in the pressure cooker. Like magic, the pressure cooker can turn it into a delicious and tender piece of meat.

While there's not a huge variety of recipes for making Eye of Round in the Instant Pot, the ones that are available are definitely worth your time!

The following recipes are great for turning that Eye of Round into a delectable meal!

  • overhead view of salpicon

    A light minced meat with a fresh citrusy taste. Perfect served on a corn tortilla or over a bed of rice.

  • a pile of roast beef on a plate

    This roast beef is made to perfection and would make a delicious sandwich!

  • vietnamese pho tai with eye of round in a bowl

Ground Beef

Ground beef is probably the most common meat used in cooking, at least it is in my house.  So many choices of what to make with it. We always keep ground sirloin in the fridge. It's so easy to cook and it can be fixed in a very short amount of time.

The versatility of it is great as well. You can make everything from meatballs, to chili, to tacos, to meatloaf. The choices are endless!

So if you're looking for something tasty to make with ground beef, this is the list for you! Choose an international dish, or go with a traditional meatloaf. Either way, these ground beef recipes are sure to be a hit!

Chilis

Nothing like a bowl of warm chili to soothe the soul! Chili is probably one of those meals that makes everyone happy when we make it at home. All the kids love it and even the little one requests it often.

My husband used to make chili on the stove and it would take hours. Recently, he came up with a quick stovetop version of his awesome chili. It is nothing short of perfection!

Now that we can use the Instant Pot to make it, though, that's our preferred method of cooking it. It is very quick, and we can use dry beans without the added time.

So I have found several delicious Chili recipes for your Instant Pot that are sure to be a hit. I've listed both chilis with dry beans and chilis with canned beans. Take your pick!

For that reason, I always keep pasta and ground beef on hand because, with five kids, I never know when things are going to get crazy around here.
