Ingredients
1 kg coxão mole, sliced
1 bottle dark beer (or 2 cans)
1 packet onion soup mix
1 bottle dark beer (or 2 cans)
1 packet onion soup mix
Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets such as Woolworths, Pick n Pay, or Checkers. For the beef, visit the butchery counter and ask for coxão mole; if unavailable, a high-quality top-side or silverside (locally known as beef knuckle) can serve as a suitable substitute. Dark beer can be found in the liquor section of most grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Combine the dark beer and the contents of the onion soup mix in a pressure cooker.
- Add the sliced coxão mole to the pot, ensuring the pieces are well distributed.
- Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and bring to high pressure over high heat.
- Reduce the heat and cook for 40 minutes once full pressure is reached.
- Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the pot.
- Serve the pot roast hot.
Observations
