Tips:

  • Tenderizing the meat before cooking helps make it extra tender. For best results, marinate the steak overnight or for at least 30 minutes.
  • Use a quality cut of steak. Look for a steak that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep it moist during cooking.
  • Sear the steak in a hot pan before pressure cooking. This will help to develop a nice brown crust and lock in the flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pressure cooker. If you add too much meat, it will not cook evenly.
  • Use a combination of cooking methods to get the best results. Sear the steak, then pressure cook it, and finally finish it off in a hot pan.
  • Serve the steak immediately with your favorite sides.
