When I’m in the mood for a comforting and satisfying meal, I love turning to my pressure cooker. It’s amazing how quickly and easily you can cook up a delicious stew that’s packed with flavour. Recently, I decided to make a hearty filet eye steak and vegetable stew using my pressure cooker. This is a one pot recipe which makes it quick to make and easy to clean up.
The Ingredients:
- 1 filet eye steak
- 2 potatoes, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 packet of red wine sauce mix
- 1 cup of water (or enough to almost cover the ingredients)
This is the flavour packet I used, it was actually slightly spicy! I was not expecting that but it was super tasty, even my kid liked it.
If you don’t want to use a flavour packet, you could add your favorite herbs and spices and some red wine to get a similar flavour. Think of bay leaves, rosemary, chili flakes and some stock.
The Instructions:
- Set the pressure cooker to sauté mode and fry off the steak until it’s slightly browned
- Add the chopped potatoes and carrot to the pressure cooker.
- Mix the red wine sauce packet with 1 cup of water and pour it over the steak and vegetables.
- Close the lid of the pressure cooker and set it to high pressure for 20 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally before opening the lid.
The Result:
The result was a tender and juicy filet eye steak, surrounded by perfectly cooked potatoes and carrots in a rich and flavorful red wine sauce. It was a truly satisfying meal that’s perfect for a chilly evening.
Tips and Variations:
- Use your favourite vegetables in place of the potatoes and carrots, parsnips, turnips, or sweet potatoes would all be great options.
- Add some onions or garlic to the pot for extra flavour.
- Serve the stew with some crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a more filling meal.
- Experiment with different sauce mixes or spices to give the stew a unique flavour.
- I used steak to it cooked quicker but you can use beef chunks but you will need to allow for a longer cooking time.
This pressure cooker stew is a game changer for anyone looking for a quick and easy meal that’s packed with flavour. The filet eye steak comes out tender and juicy, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. Give it a try and see how you can enjoy this hearty and delicious stew!
