COOKING UNDER PRESSURE: AWESOME STEAK & MARINADE

Cooking Under Pressure: Awesome Steak & Marinade image

This is a great marinade for beef. I will be using it on a nice flat-iron steak, and pressure cooking it. It came out supper, duper yummy, and was easy/peasy to make. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Ingredients

PLAN/PURCHASE
THE MARINADE
6 oz pineapple juice
4 oz tamari sauce, or liquid aminos
4 oz white wine, dry variety
2 oz apple-cider vinegar
3 Tbsp fresh clover honey
1 - 2 clove garlic, finely minced
THE BEEF
1 - 2 lb good beef roast, your choice

Steps:

1. PREP/PREPARE
2. You will need a pressure cooker, or instant pot to make this recipe.
3. You can use just about any cut of beef with the marinade. I choose a flat-iron steak because of its great marbling, and it holds up well under pressure.
4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
5. Cut up your steak against the grain into 1/2-inch (1.3cm) strips.
6. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the beef.
7. Cover and place into the fridge for about an hour.
8. If you are cooking this in the oven or stovetop, then I would recommend leaving the beef in the marinade for 5 - 6 hours. The pressure cooker gives us tender beef in a matter of minutes, and that "pressure" helps to infuse the marinade into the beef as it cooks. That is why we only need to marinate it for an hour.
9. Add the beef and marinade to the bowl of your pressure cooker.
10. I added some red potatoes (cut in half) and placed them on a rack over the beef. Then I took them out and mashed them with some milk, butter, salt, and pepper... Brilliant.
11. Secure the top to your cooker, set it to high, and cook for 12 minutes. After that time, allow it to do a natural release, about 15 minutes.
12. PLATE/PRESENT
13. My favorite way to serve this is over a steaming plate of mashed taters and drizzled with some of the amazing marinade sauce. And, some crusty bread would not be amiss. Enjoy.
14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

AWESOME STEAK MARINADE

I created this marinade on a whim one day and it was delicious! We usually use it on porterhouse steaks, but I'm sure it's interchangeable. This recipe is more than enough for two large steaks, but can be increased or decreased as needed.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of steak. Not all steaks are created equal. Some cuts, like flank steak and skirt steak, are best marinated for a shorter period of time, while others, like ribeye steak and strip steak, can handle a longer marinade.
Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give your steak its flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you love. There are many different recipes for steak marinades, so experiment until you find one that you like.
Marinate the steak for the right amount of time. The amount of time you marinate the steak will depend on the thickness of the steak and the type of marinade you are using. A thin steak can be marinated for a shorter period of time, while a thick steak will need to be marinated for longer.
Cook the steak properly. Once the steak is marinated, it's time to cook it. There are many different ways to cook steak, so choose a method that you like and that will give you the desired results.
Let the steak rest before serving. Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Marinating steak is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to your steak. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and memorable steak dinner that everyone will enjoy.
