Equipment

  • Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker

Ingredients
 

  • 2 pounds Beets 3 to 4 large

For Marinated Beets

  • 3 tbsp vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Cut the roots and stem. Scrub the beets and wash off any dirt or dust. Leave the beets whole or cut the beets into the same size if they're a variety of sizes.
  • Place a rack or steamer insert in a 6qrt Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. Place the beets on the rack and close the lid.
  • Turn the knob to the "Sealing" position. Choose the pressure cook time according to the size of your beets. Cooking times are listed below.
  • When the pressure cooking is done, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then do a quick pressure release to release any remaining pressure. Use a fork and check for doneness.
  • Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel the skins. It will come right off.
  • To make marinated beet, cut the beet into 1-inch pieces, and toss them with vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Check and adjust seasonings. Leave for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor.
