How to Make Quick Round Steak Comfort Food

  1. Sear 1-inch thick round steak (about 1.5 lbs) in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side until browned. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the pot and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 1 cup beef broth and 1/2 cup red wine (optional, can substitute with more broth). Stir in 1 tbsp tomato paste and 1 tsp dried thyme.
  4. Add the seared round steak to the pressure cooker. Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
  5. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure manually.
  6. Remove the round steak from the pressure cooker and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  7. Thicken the sauce in the pressure cooker by bringing it to a simmer on the stovetop. You can optionally blend a portion for a smoother sauce.
  8. Slice the steak and serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish, generously drizzled with the delicious sauce.
