Look for the beef or pork in the butcher’s section, and pick up onions, potatoes, and stock cubes in the produce and grocery aisles. If needed, use beef stock cubes as a substitute for meat stock cubes.
Preparation method

- Crumble 1 or 2 beef stock cubes over the onions
- Add the meat cubes over the onions
- Season the meat with the remaining stock cubes
- Cover the meat with the remaining onion slices
- Cover the pressure cooker and cook over medium heat for about 25 minutes after it comes up to pressure
- Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally
- If you want to add potatoes, remove the onions from the top, add the potato slices, cover again, and cook for another 10 minutes after it comes up to pressure
- Wait for the pressure to release naturally before opening
