Ingredients for Juicy Pressure Cooker Steak:
- Sirloin steaks (desired amount)
- Dried oregano to taste
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable oil (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1 large onion, sliced
How to Make Juicy Pressure Cooker Steak:
- If you prefer, cut the steaks into smaller bite-sized pieces. This helps ensure they stay extra juicy.
- Season the steaks with oregano and salt. Remember not to over-salt, as flavors intensify during pressure cooking.
- Preheat your pressure cooker, add the oil, and swirl to coat the bottom of the pot.
- Place the steaks in the cooker, arranging them so they don’t overlap too much.
- Lock the lid and bring to high pressure over high heat.
- Once the cooker reaches pressure, reduce the heat to medium and cook for approximately 9 minutes.
- While the steak cooks, slice your onion for a delicious caramelized finish.
- After 9 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. Do not attempt to force the lid open while there is still pressure inside.
- Remove the lid. You will notice the meat has released its own juices, meaning there is no need to add extra water.
- Turn the heat back on to high to evaporate any excess liquid. Stir the steaks occasionally so they brown evenly.
- Transfer the steaks to a serving platter and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the sliced onions and a splash of water, just enough to soften them.
- Sauté the onions until they are soft and golden brown.
- Turn off the heat and top the steaks with the onions for an extra layer of flavor.
- That’s it! Your juicy pressure cooker steak is ready to serve.
- Enjoy!
