Swiss Steak With Mushroom Gravy Instant Pot Recipes

Steps:

• Dry steak well with paper towels and cut into four 4-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place flour into a shallow bowl. Dredge steak pieces in flour, shaking off excess.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Once the pot is hot, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Brown the steak in batches, so you don't crowd the pot, 2 minutes per side. Transfer browned meat to a warm plate and set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the pot and cook onion, carrot, celery, and bell pepper until onions are soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pot with Merlot. Mix in tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and paprika. Return steak to the pot and push down into the tomato mixture.
• Close and lock the lid. Select manual pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Allow pressure to release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes. Carefully open the valve to release the remaining pressure, about 5 minutes more. Unlock and remove the lid.

Steps:

• Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Place beef in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker, sprinkling onion and mushrooms with liquid between layers of beef. Pour soup over beef.
• Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or until beef is tender.

Steps:

• In 3- to 4-quart slow cooker, layer onion, carrots, mushrooms and beef. Sprinkle pepper over beef. In medium bowl, mix soup and tomato sauce; pour over beef.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
• Place beef on serving platter. With slotted spoon, remove vegetables from cooker and spoon over beef. Stir gravy in cooker with wire whisk to blend. Serve gravy with beef.

Steps:

• Place beef tips in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add flour and stir to coat.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil and let it get hot. Add beef tips and saute until browned, about 3 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add onion and mushrooms and saute for 1 minute. Add broth, wine, and Worcestershire sauce; cook for 1 minute while scraping off the brown bits with a wooden spoon.
• Return beef tips to the pot and stir until everything is evenly combined. Pour condensed soup over top; do not stir.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Let sit until gravy has thickened, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Mix flour,salt, pepper & any additional seasonings to your taste. Dredge meat, cut in portion size pieces, in the flour mixture.
• 2. Put enough oil in the bottom pressure cooker and heat. Add floured meat pieces and brown on both sides. Drain if there seems to be an excess amount of oil left after browning, but usually not necessary, and return meat to cooker.
• 3. Mix mushroom soup and tomato soup with the water in a bowl. Whisk well to combine and make smooth. Pour over the meat that is in the cooker.
• 4. Put the pressure cooker on and let seal. Cook for 20 minutes while under pressure. Remove from heat and let pressure drop completely before trying to open lid.
• 5. The soups should have thickened during the cooking time to make a nice gravy to put over the meat and potatoes - which I cook while the meat is in the pressure cooker.

Steps:

• Cut meat into 6-8 large sized pieces (meat will shrink).
• Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a medium sized dish.
• In a 12 inch skillet heat the vegetable oil until medium hot over medium high heat.
• Dredge meat in the flour mixture well on both sides.
• Brown the meat in the oil well on both sides.
• There should be enough room in the skillet to brown all the meat at once.
• Turn the heat down to medium low.
• Pour the mushrooms and liquid over the meat.
• Top the mushrooms with the sliced onions.
• Cover and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the meat is tender.
• NOTE**** add water 1/2 cup at a time about every 15 minutes to keep the meat cooking with moist heat.
• When meat is tender turn off heat and remove meat from pan.
• Add 3-3 1/2 cups of cold water to the remaining flour which wasn't using with dredging.
• Stir well to remove lumps.
• Slowly add to the drippings in the pan.
• Stir constantly over medium heat until thickened.
• If gravy is too thick add more water-- if too thin add more flour mixed with cold water.
• Taste and add more salt, pepper/and or beef flavoring as desired.
• Turn heat down to low and gently slide the meat back into the gravy.
• Heat until the meat is hot again and serve.
• Great with mashed potatoes or steamed rice.
• OPTIONAL Hint: I often add a couple teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet to the finished gravy to give it more color. I decided I should add a note about this in case others would like this helpful hint.
