Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets like Au Bon Marché or various grocery stores in Port Vila. Look for beef cuts at local butcher counters; if top round is unavailable, a well-marbled chuck roast is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Heat the vegetable oil in a pressure cooker over high heat.
- Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion for about 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Add the steak slices to the pan and sear for 10 minutes, or until the meat has browned on all sides.
- Stir in the salt, monosodium glutamate, tomato, green bell pepper, tomato paste, and hot water.
- Secure the lid of 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 immediately.
