SWISS STEAK MEAL

SWISS STEAK MEAL

Ingredients:
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 large green pepper, seeded and diced
1 cup tomato juice
1 cup beef broth or water
6 large carrots, peeled and quartered
6 medium white potatoes, scrubbed and quartered

Directions:
Optional: 4 teaspoons butter
1. Cut the round steak into 6 serving-size pieces. Add the oil to a pressure cooker
and bring it to temperature over medium heat. Season the meat on both sides with
salt and pepper. Add 3 pieces of the meat and fry for 3 minutes on each side to
brown them. Move to a platter and repeat with the other 3 pieces of meat.
2. Leave the last 3 pieces of browned meat in the cooker; add the onion, celery, and
green pepper on top of them. Place the other 3 pieces of meat on top and pour the
tomato juice and broth or water over them. Place the carrots and potatoes on top
of the meat. Close the lid; bring to high pressure and maintain the pressure for 17
minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow time for the natural release of
the pressure.
3. Once the pressure has dropped, open the cooker and move the potatoes, carrots,
and meat to a serving platter. Cover and keep warm. Skim any fat from the juices
remaining in the pan. Set the uncovered cooker over medium heat and simmer the
juices for 5 minutes. Whisk in the butter, 1 teaspoon at a time, if desired. Taste
for seasoning and add additional salt and pepper, if needed. Have the resulting
gravy available at the table to pour over the meat. Serve immediately.
Pressure Cooker Warning
Remember that you should never fill a pressure cooker more than 2⁄ full.
