Where to find ingredients
You can find topside beef at the butcher’s counter or the fresh meat aisle of any local supermarket. Use generic store-cupboard staples for the oil, salt, and tomato purée. Monosodium glutamate is typically stocked in the world food or Asian seasonings section.
Preparation method
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pressure cooker over a high heat.
- Add the garlic and onion, and sauté for 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Add the beef steaks to the pan and sear for 10 minutes, or until browned on all sides.
- Stir in the salt, monosodium glutamate, tomato, green pepper, tomato purée, and hot water.
- Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and cook for 30 minutes once the pan has reached full pressure.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally before opening.
- Stir in the fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Observations
This recipe offers a delicious and simple variation on a classic Brazilian beef stew. By using a pressure cooker, you ensure the meat is exceptionally tender and full of flavour in a fraction of the usual cooking time, making it an ideal choice for a convenient weeknight dinner.
The secret lies in the initial sautéing of the aromatics and the specific combination of seasonings that deepen the flavour profile. It is a wonderfully versatile dish that appeals to everyone. Serve this alongside steamed basmati rice and a fresh salad for a perfectly balanced meal.
