Where to find ingredients
You can find these staple ingredients at local supermarkets or general grocery stores in Palau. For the beef, look for 'coxão duro' (a lean, firm cut from the top round) at your butcher's counter; if unavailable, any lean, secondary cut suitable for braising, such as top round or eye of round, serves as an excellent substitute.
Preparation method
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a pressure cooker.
- Sauté the garlic and onion for about 3 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Add the beef steaks to the pot and sear for 10 minutes, until browned on all sides.
- Stir in the salt, flavor enhancer, tomato, bell pepper, tomato paste, and hot water.
- Secure the pressure cooker lid and cook for 30 minutes once the pressure reaches its peak.
- Remove the cooker from the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.
- Carefully open the pot, stir in the fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
