Keto Instant Pot Cabbage Beef Stew is an easy to make, healthy, budget friendly, low carb, gluten free recipe with a paleo & Whole30 option.
This hearty, easy to prepare, stew that contains ground beef, cabbage, and veggies is surprisingly delicious and flavorful.
I was shocked that my kids liked this so much and even had second helpings. I thought that with the cabbage and cauliflower rice that they would not even finish the first bowl, let alone come back for more.
My family enjoyed this stew, and it is very reminiscent of the stuffed cabbage rolls my mom use to make in the ’70s.
Cabbage is a nutrient-packed vegetable that is often overlooked and underused and loaded with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.

So delicious and hearty! Flavours were bang on. I also chopped a large bunch of parsley from the garden and added that. Prep time even with a food processor is nowhere near 6 mins. Took me about half an hour, left on the stove on low for the afternoon. Mozzarella on top is a great suggestion 😍
robert reuteman says
I made this last night and it was outstanding. So tasty, having it again for lunch today.
Stacey says
Thank you so much, Robert, for trying the recipe and for your very kind words.
Donna says
Does the cauli not turn to mush in the instant pot?
Stacey says
It can if you cook it for a longer time. The cauliflower just adds bulk, fiber, and nutrients to the stew.
Trish says
Great recipe, just a little salty I would omit salt and add at the end if needed next time. Tastes like a cabbage roll.
Stacey says
Thank you, Trish, for trying the recipe & for your kind words & tips 🙂
Julie says
I doubled the spices and only pressure cooked for 3 minutes on high. Turned out great! Less time is better, because otherwise the veggies will be mush.
Melinda James says
One of the best soups I have tasted, thank you for sharing your recipe. The whole family loved it, definitely will be making it again!
Stacey says
Thank you so much, Melinda, For trying the recipe and for your very kind words.
Katina says
Hubby does not like cauliflower AT ALL. Can you leave the cauliflower out? And it still be good or does the cauliflower add something important besides bulk?
Stacey says
Yes, Katina, you can omit the cauliflower, my hubby hates it too 🙂
Janice says
Can this be done without an Instant Pot?
Stacey says
Janice, yes it can be made on the stovetop, but it has to cook a little longer and the ground beef must be cooked first in a frying pan before adding to the pot.
