Set the Instant Pot to saute for 7 minutes. Brown the ground beef, adding the onions, garlic, and peppers during the last 3 minutes.

Let pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then complete a controlled quick release of remaining pressure. Serve garnished with scallions or chives.
Notes
Storing: store in the fridge in an airtight covered container for up to 5 days. It's fantastic a few days after making, as the flavors have had a chance to sit and "marry". It can be kept for around 6 months in freezer safe containers. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
