Where to find ingredients
For the bottom round roast, check your local butcher or the beef section of your supermarket; it is a lean, flavorful cut perfect for braising. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is commonly found in the international or Asian spices aisle of most large grocery stores. Fresh produce like garlic, onions, tomatoes, and green bell peppers are standard in any vegetable section. Fresh parsley is usually located in the refrigerated fresh herbs display.
Preparation method
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pressure cooker over high heat
- Sauté the minced garlic and diced onion for 3 minutes until golden and fragrant
- Add the beef slices to the pot and sear for 10 minutes, or until the meat has browned on all sides
- Stir in the salt, MSG, diced tomato, green bell pepper, tomato paste, and hot water
- Seal the pressure cooker and cook for 30 minutes once it reaches full pressure
- Remove the cooker from the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally before opening
- Stir in the fresh parsley and serve the stew while piping hot
