Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

PLAN/PURCHASE
2 - 3 lb top-round roast
2 Tbsp grapeseed oil
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 c beef stock, not broth
14 oz diced tomatoes, 1 can
8 - 10 small golden or red potatoes
2 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
8 oz button mushrooms, stemmed, and quartered

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. I selected a top-round roast for this recipe, because I like the flavor it produces, and it holds up nicely to the rigors of pressure cooking. In addition, it has little fat, so the recipe comes out with less grease.
  • 3. I slice the onions so thin, that they basically melt into the sauce as it cooks.
  • 4. Cento, is one of my favorite brands of tomatoes; however, Hunts does a pretty good job too. In addition, you might want to use fire-roasted tomatoes... just to give it an extra kick.
  • 5. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 6. Add the grapeseed oil to a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat.
  • 7. Salt and pepper the beef, and place into the pan.
  • 8. Brown on all sides, about 2 - 3 minutes per side.
  • 9. Remove the beef, and add to the bowl of your pressure cooker.
  • 10. Add the beef stock to the pan, and scrape up all the brown bits.
  • 11. Add the beef stock, and the remainder of the ingredients to the bowl of the pressure cooker.
  • 12. Set the pressure to high, and cook for 60 minutes.
  • 13. While the roast is cooking, add the butter to a pot, over medium heat.
  • 14. Add the mushrooms, and cook until softened, and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes.
  • 15. Chef's Note: I quartered the mushrooms; however, if you prefer, you could just as easily slice them.
  • 16. After 60 minutes, release the pressure on the cooker, and remove the roast, and potatoes.
  • 17. Add the liquid to the pot with the mushrooms.
  • 18. If the sauce has a lot of grease, then use a de-fatter to remove it before adding to the pot with the mushrooms.
  • 19. Bring to the boil, and reduce until the sauce begins to thicken, about 8 - 10 minutes.
  • 20. Chef's Note: If you want a thicker sauce, then create a slurry with 2 or 3 tablespoons of flour, and add it to the sauce, while it is cooking down.
  • 21. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 22. Slice the beef, against the grain, then serve with the potatoes, and that yummy mushroom sauce.
  • 23. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
