Ribeye Steak

Step 1: If you have an electric pressure cooker that also has a saute function or if you're using a stovetop cooker that is placed directly on the burner, pour a tablespoon of olive oil into the pot and turn it on to heat. If your electric cooker does not have a saute function, add the oil to a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Step 2: While the pressure cooker or skillet is heating, sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Add the steaks to the oil and sear the beef on both sides. Step 3: Add 1 cup of liquid to the pot of the pressure cooker. Put the lid on, seal the pot and set the cooker for 20 minutes per pound of steak. Step 4: Release the pressure from the cooker, according to the specific directions of your model, and remove the meat. If desired, turn the pot back to saute or drain the liquid into a saucepan and turn the heat up to high to reduce the liquid for an easy sauce.

Pressure Cooker Safety Tips A long time ago, pressure cookers were at risk of exploding because of a lack of built-in safety features. That's no longer the case—modern-day pressure cookings have a wide range of ways to prevent any sort of danger, such as automatic pressure control and heating sensors. However, you should still keep your wits about you while using a pressure cooker, just like you would with any other form of high-heat cooking.

• Make sure the lid is properly in place and locked before setting the pressure.
• Do not attempt to open the pressure cooker until it's been depressurized.
• Keep your hands and other body parts away from the valve when releasing the pressure—the steam is incredibly hot.
