There’s nothing quite like a warm, hearty stew on a cold winter day. And afghan beef ghorma is one of our favorites! This dish is made with stew meat and potatoes and served over rice. We usually eat it with a salata, which is an afghan salad. If you’re looking for a delicious and warming winter meal, give this afghan beef ghorma recipe a try!

Beef Stew is an excellent Cold-Weather Dish

Stews with hearty meat and potatoes are common around the world. There is Portuguese fish stew, goat stew, Persian beef stew, and many others. What is expected in Afghan beef ghorma?

We always use our standard seasonings cumin, coriander, etc. We typically slow cook these meats, but I show you how to utilize an Instant Pot to make this into a 45-minute meal.

Looking for some other cold-weather dishes, check our recipe round-up here.

Instant Pot Afghan Beef Ghorma is Fast

Instant Pot recipes have been the rage for years. But, for those who don’t know, an Instant Pot is just a fancy pressure cooker. A pressure cooker works just as well.

I highly recommend that your kitchen have an Instant Pot or pressure cooker. If you are working, making many flavorful dishes is almost impossible during the work week if you don’t have one.
