🛒 Ingredients
1 lb 85% lean ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp avocado oil (or additional olive oil)
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp Dijon-style mustard (gluten/soy/dairy-free) (check label!)
1 tsp coconut aminos (instead of Worcestershire)
½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp kosher salt (adjust to taste)
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup dry white wine (or use broth + splash of lemon juice)
3 cups low-sodium beef broth (check for GF label)
8 oz gluten-free pasta (brown rice, chickpea or lentil-based spiral pasta works great)
½ cup coconut cream (or cashew cream)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Optional garnish: Nutritional yeast or dairy-free parmesan-style topping
👨🍳 Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics
Turn Instant Pot to Sauté (High).
Add olive oil and avocado oil.
Add diced onion, sauté 2–3 minutes.
Add garlic and mushrooms, sauté 4–5 minutes until golden. - Cook the Beef
Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart.
Stir in tomato paste, mustard, coconut aminos, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Sauté for 1 minute to develop flavor. - Deglaze & Add Liquids
Add white wine (or broth + lemon juice) and scrape up browned bits.
Simmer for 1–2 minutes. - Add Pasta & Pressure Cook
Pour in beef broth and gluten-free pasta. Stir to submerge pasta in liquid.
Lock the lid and set to Pressure Cook (Manual) for 3 minutes (gluten-free pasta overcooks easily).
Quick release immediately when time is up. - Creamy Finish
Stir in coconut cream until fully combined and creamy.
Let sit 3–5 minutes to thicken. - Serve & Garnish
Top with fresh parsley and optional nutritional yeast or dairy-free parmesan.

A realistic single portion for an adult (especially as a full meal) is around 1½ cups, which is typical if you’re serving 4. If serving with a side salad or bread alternative, 1 cup may be enough per person (serving 6).

🍷 Pairing & Notes
Pair with roasted carrots or a zesty cabbage slaw.
Swap pasta with spiralized zucchini for a low-carb version.
For extra creaminess, blend ¼ cup soaked cashews with a splash of water and add it in place of coconut cream.
