This recipe combines the rich flavors of Mexican cuisine with the convenience of a pressure cooker. Our Pressure Cooker Mexican Beef features a tantalizing blend of chili, salsa, and a surprising twist of fish sauce. It's a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious, hearty meal with minimal fuss.
Instructions:
- Cut the beef into bite-sized chunks.
- Finely chop the onions.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large bowl, toss the beef chunks with the chili powder and salt until evenly coated.
- Set your pressure cooker to the sauté mode.
- Add the butter and let it melt, then add the chopped onions.
- Sauté the onions for about 3-4 minutes, or until they become translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the seasoned beef chunks to the pressure cooker.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes until the meat is browned on all sides.
- Pour in the salsa sauce and chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the bottom of the pot and mix everything together.
- Add the fish sauce and give everything a good stir.
- Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and ensure the valve is set to the sealing position.
- Set the cooking time to 40 minutes on high pressure.
- Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure manually.
- Open the lid and give the beef mixture a good stir.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the Mexican beef hot, perhaps with warm tortillas, rice, or your favorite side dishes.
Tips:
- Brown the beef: Before pressure cooking, brown the beef in the butter. This step adds richer flavor to your dish.
- Deglaze the pot: After browning the beef, deglaze the pot by adding a bit of the chicken soup and scraping off the browned bits from the bottom. This adds depth to the dish.
- Alter spiciness: Adjust the amount of chili powder and salsa to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
- Natural pressure release: Allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 10 minutes before using quick release. This helps keep the beef tender.
- Rest before serving: Let the beef rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to meld together more fully.
With its robust flavors and tender beef, this Pressure Cooker Mexican Beef will become a favorite in your household. The chili, salsa, and fish sauce create a unique taste that is sure to impress. Serve it with rice, tortillas, or a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
