Instructions

• 1 Remove as many outer leaves from the cabbage as possible, then cut the stem out
  of the base of the cabbage to release more leaves.
• 2 Pour in 1 cup of water into your inner liner and set a steamer rack or the
  trivet [https://amzn.to/3CJc8fH] inside. Put the cabbage leaves on the trivet
  and close with a lid. Press the pressure cook button and set time to 0 minutes.
  It will take about 5-8 minutes to come to pressure.When done, do a manual
  release of the pressure and remove the cabbage leaves right away.
• 3 Combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, salt, and rice in a bowl and mix
  thoroughly.
• 4 Divide the meat mixture evenly among the cabbage leaves. Place the meat mixture
  in the center of the cabbage roll. Fold the sides of the cabbage over the top of
  the meat and roll the cabbage tightly.
• 5 Combine 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in the Instant Pot inner
  pot. Add in the rolls directly into the water.
• 6 Combine the remaining tomato sauce with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  Pour the sauce over the top of each cabbage roll in the pot.
• 7 Pressure cook on high for 7 minutes. When the time is up, give it 5 minutes to
  naturally release pressure, then do a quick release.
• 8 Remove the rolls from the pot and set aside. Turn the pot onto saute mode.
  Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce. You can add a cornstarch slurry to
  thicken it even more if you want.
• 9 Serve the rolls with sauce and freshly grated Parmesan cheese
