In a large strainer, add rice in cold water and let it rinse for 5 minutes (or until water runs clear).

Set the Instant Pot setting to "Sauté". Add 1 Tbsp. of olive oil, cook red onions, the organic lean ground beef and the spices. Keep this setting until the meat is cooked to desired taste.  Follow the same instructions if cooking in a pot.

In a small pan, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil on medium-high heat and sauté vermicelli noddles until  golden brown.

Drain water from rice. Pour the soaked rice on top of the meat. Season the rice with sea salt. Add in the vermicelli noodles.  Add 2 cups of water (tip: or 1:1 ratio for the amount of rice you are using ex. 1 cup rice to 1 cup water). Gently mix the ingredients with a large spoon. Set the Instant Pot setting to "Rice ". Cover and let cook (approx. 12 min). Let pot naturally release for 10 minutes, then move release value to “vent”.
