How to Make Pressured Country Kitchen Swiss Steak

  1. Season both sides of the beef steak generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large pressure cooker or Instant Pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef steak on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the steak from the pressure cooker and set aside.
  4. Add the onions, mushrooms, carrots, and celery to the pressure cooker and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Pour in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Return the beef steak to the pressure cooker. Ensure the steak is mostly submerged in the liquid. If not, add a little more broth.
  8. Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure manually.
  9. Remove the beef steak and set aside. Puree the vegetables and gravy using an immersion blender or carefully transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. (If using a blender, vent the lid carefully to prevent pressure build-up).
  10. Return the pureed gravy to the pressure cooker. If desired, whisk in the cornstarch slurry for a thicker gravy. Simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
  11. Slice the beef steak against the grain and serve with the delicious vegetable gravy. Garnish with fresh herbs (parsley or thyme) if desired.
