1 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cardamom powder
about 4-6 oz shitake mushrooms, sliced
about 4-6 oz crimini mushrooms, sliced

2 handfuls frozen greenbeens
about 12 clove garlic, pressed

Steps:

1. Add a few Tbsp. light flavored olive oil or cooking oil in the bottom of an 8 quart Instant Pot. Place ingredients into the Instant Pot in given order. Add 1/4 cup water. (If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can simmer on the stove, adding water as necessary, until the beef is tender. If you aren't in a rush, you can brown the onions and/or beef first, for extra flavor. If you don't need the green beans super soft, you can add them closer to the end.)
2. Pressure cook, high, 22 minutes. Manual steam release.
3. Serve in bowls with toppings. Enjoy! (My kid enjoyed this bowl with cheese & avocado.)
4. Note: If in the U.S., and following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for IBD, ground/powdered spices should either be ground yourself or come from a trusted company that has verified they don't contain any anti-caking agents or processing aides. I currently use both Penzeys and McCormick brands. Remember that companies can change formulas & procedures, so pay close attention to labels & check in with the company for things not listed on labels, when stocking your spices. Make sure they understand the information is for a serious medical condition, that many sugars used as processing aides and certain anti-caking agents can cause flares & serious medical repercussions...because U.S. labeling laws give lots of loop holes on what is counted as an ingredient that needs to be listed.
