Pressure Cooker Steak
Usually my mom prepares the dish according to the ingredients I list below. However, once in a while she uses grated tomatoes instead of sliced ones and adds 1 tbsp of tomato paste.
Ingredients
| 4 | steaks, cut ~1/4 inch thick | |
| 3 | potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced | |
| 3 | tomatoes, thickly sliced | |
| 4 | green chilies / banana peppers (anaheims), seeded | |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | oregano leaf |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | black pepper |
| 1 tbsp | 15 ml | olive oil |
| — | salt |
Instructions
For four.
- Place steaks at the bottom of the pressure cooker; it's ok if they overlap.
- Place potato slices on steaks.
- Cover all with tomato slices.
- Put green peppers on top.
- Sprinkle salt, oregano leaf and black pepper.
- Pour 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Pour water to barely cover steaks and vegetables.
- Cover and pressure cook on meat or high setting on medium to low heat for 20-25 minutes. If you have a not-so-good cut of steak, cook for 30 minutes.
- Serve with rice and/or crusty bread.
Do not let the simplicity of pressure cooker steak mislead you; oregano is the key ingredient.
