Ground beef makes absolutely delicious gyro meat! When you cook ground beef in your pressure cooker, it traps in the flavor resulting in deliciously flavorful meat!

I have been getting several e-mails from readers lately asking the following: ” What are some easy ground beef recipes that aren’t tacos, meatballs, meatloaf, or sloppy joe’s? While chicken is super versatile, I don’t see much versatility when it comes to ground beef. I decided to try these Instant Pot Ground Beef for a few reasons.

After I started making sloppy joe’s in my Instant Pot, I stopped making them on the stovetop.
I decided that I wanted to explore creating more recipes with ground beef.
Did you know that I am obsessed with gyros and Tzatziki sauce? If you are a frequent reader of this website, then you know I love Gyros. I have made:

Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros

Sheet Pan Chicken Gyros

Instant Pot Chicken Gyros

Shredded Beef Gyros

Chickpea Gyros

Whole 30 Chicken Gyro Soup

Beef Gyro Stew

My husband was sad when he realized that I only cooked 1 pound of beef the first time I made these. They turned out SUPER flavorful. I think that cooking the beef in your Instant Pot helps marinate the flavors in the meat. We all thought these tasted authentic.
