Easy Instant Pot Swiss Steak Food

EASY INSTANT POT SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
• Season the sliced round steak on both sides with the seasoning mixture.
• Press sauté on the Instant Pot, and when it reads Hot, add the oil.
• Once the oil is simmering, brown the steak on both sides, then place on a plate and cover with foil. Work in batches.
• Add the diced onion to the Instant Pot and cook for 1 min. Add the sliced mushrooms and celery, and cook just until slightly soft, stirring occasionally for 2-3 mins.
• Add 1/3 of the beef broth. Using a wooden spoon scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze it.
• Press cancel to turn off the sauté mode, and add the round steak back to the pot. Add the remaining beef broth and top with the crushed tomatoes, at this point do NOT stir the tomatoes into the broth.
• Cover with the lid, lock it, turn the valve to the sealing position, and pressure cook for 20 minutes. Once cooked, allow for a 10 minute natural pressure release, then do a quick pressure release to remove remaining pressure.
• Open the lid, remove steak and place on a large platter. Cover with foil.
• Press sauté and boil the gravy mixture for 10 mins to thicken it and reduce it.
• Garnish with chopped parsley and serve Instant Pot Swiss Steak over mashed cauliflower, with the gravy on top.

INSTANT POT® SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Dry steak well with paper towels and cut into four 4-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place flour into a shallow bowl. Dredge steak pieces in flour, shaking off excess.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Once the pot is hot, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Brown the steak in batches, so you don't crowd the pot, 2 minutes per side. Transfer browned meat to a warm plate and set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the pot and cook onion, carrot, celery, and bell pepper until onions are soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pot with Merlot. Mix in tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and paprika. Return steak to the pot and push down into the tomato mixture.
• Close and lock the lid. Select manual pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Allow pressure to release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes. Carefully open the valve to release the remaining pressure, about 5 minutes more. Unlock and remove the lid.
