Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, sliced into strips
2 large russet potatoes, sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded, cored, and chopped
15-oz can diced tomatoes
2 tsp Montreal steak seasoning, divided
1/4 tsp ground thyme
1/2 cup beef broth
optional: 1 TBSP cornstarch + 1 TBSP water
optional: shredded mozzarella for serving

Steps:

Add ground beef and sliced onions to the insert pot of the Instant Pot. Using the Saute function, cook until beef is browned, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula as it cooks.
Once beef is browned, drain excess grease and set aside.
Add sliced potatoes to the bottom of the insert pot. Sprinkle potatoes with 1 tsp of Montreal steak seasoning.
Top potatoes with beef and onions. Add tomatoes and peppers on top of the beef. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp steak seasoning plus the ground thyme.
Pour in the beef broth. Close the lid and set vent to the sealed position.
Select a cook time of 4 minutes at high pressure. Once the cook time is complete, perform a quick release of pressure.
After the pressure has released and the valve has dropped, carefully remove the lid.
If desired, add slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken the liquid to a gravy-like consistency.
Serve, topped with shredded mozzarella if desired.
