Instructions

  • Heat your olive oil in a hot skillet over medium-high. Toss in those diced onions and sauté till they’re soft and kinda translucent about 5 minutes.
  • Season your chuck steak with salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides in the skillet till you see that rich brown crust forming.
  • Stir in the tomato purée and keep cooking another minute for that blended flavor to start coming out.
  • Transfer your meat and onions to the pressure cooker pot. Add crumbled stock cubes, carrots, potatoes, brown sugar, thyme, and bay leaves.
  • Pour in your Guinness stout. Stir everything gently to combine well. Check your broth depth to be sure all’s covered.
  • Seal up the lid tight, make sure the sealing ring is in place. Lock it and turn on high pressure. Wait for float valve to pop up signaling pressure build.
  • Cook for about 35 to 40 minutes on high pressure. Then let the pressure naturally release for another 10 minutes before quick releasing any leftover steam. Check the tender pull on your steak, it should just fall apart.

Notes

Serve with mashed potatoes and cabbage for a complete comforting meal.
