  8. Secure the lid again and pressure cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Note

For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the pot after opening. Let it simmer on low for a few minutes until thickened.

Ensure you have enough liquid in the pot (at least 1 cup) to build pressure safely. The recipe includes 1 cup tomato juice and 1 cup water, which is sufficient.

If using frozen beef, add 50% more cooking time.

This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
