PRESSURE COOKER SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Place onion in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Top with celery, tomato sauce and steak. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 20 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. A thermometer inserted in steak should read at least 145°.

SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour mixture. Tenderize the meat using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge the slices on both sides once more and set aside.
• Add enough of the bacon drippings or vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
• Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the onions, garlic, and celery. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.

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.

SWISS STEAK WITH MASHED POTATOES & CARROTS

• Prepare and measure all the other ingredients.
• Turn the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot on sear/sauté on high. Add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil or oil of choice.
• When the oil is hot, add 3-4 of the flour coated round steak to the bottom to sear. Let it cook about 3 minutes and flip and cook an additional 2 minutes. If you are making 3 pounds of round steak you may need to cook in batches.
• Deglaze the inner pot with the beef broth and make sure to scrape the bottom to loosen any brown bits that may be stuck on the bottom. Add the can of fire roasted tomatoes with the juice, the Worcestershire sauce and red wine vinegar. Add the steak back in if you removed it. Add the onion and 2 carrots. If you are only cooking the Swiss steak without potatoes and additional carrots, put the pressure lid on and set the time to 25 minutes. When the time is up, allow the pot to natural release for 10 minutes and then release the remaining pressure and remove the lid. Thicken the sauce with tomato paste if desired. Serve & Enjoy! If you are making the potatoes and extra carrots proceed to the next step.
• Place the reversible rack on low or your trivet on top of the steak. Place the whole and unpeeled potatoes on the rack. Cut the top off of a bulb of garlic and set it on the rack. Put the pressure lid on and turn the valve to seal. Set the pressure on high for 13 minutes. When the time is up do an immediate release.
• Open the lid and add in the extra carrots. Put the pressure lid on and turn the valve to seal. Set the pressure on high for 5-7 minutes. 7 minutes will be a softer carrot. When the time is up, allow the pot to natural release for 10 minutes. Release the remaining pressure and open the lid.
• Remove the whole potatoes and place them in a bowl for mashing. Remove the garlic and carrots and set aside. Remove the rack and add in the tomato paste for thickening. Turn the sear/sauté on high if needed to reduce the sauce.
• Squeeze the garlic cloves out of the bulb of garlic into the bowl of potatoes. Add the butter. Smash them and add cream if desired. Salt and pepper to taste.
