Flavorful pressure cooker beef (Carne de panela)

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
700g top round beef (coxão duro), sliced into steaks
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons monosodium glutamate (MSG)
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 cups hot water
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Where to find ingredients

All ingredients are readily available at local supermarkets and grocery stores. For the beef, top round (coxão duro) can be sourced from local butcher shops; as a substitute, top sirloin or rump roast may be used for a similarly lean cut.

Preparation method

  1. Heat the oil in a pressure cooker over high heat.
  2. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion for 3 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Add the beef steaks and fry for 10 minutes, or until the meat changes color.
  4. Stir in the salt, monosodium glutamate, tomato, green bell pepper, tomato paste, and hot water.
  5. Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and cook for 30 minutes once the pressure builds up.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and allow the pressure to release completely.
  7. Open the cooker, stir in the chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
