Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Swiss Steak Dinner.
Step 1
Start by patting your steak dry with paper towels, then slice it into four equal pieces, each about 4 inches long.
Step 2
Generously season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor.
Step 3
Next, grab a shallow bowl and pour in some flour.
Step 4
Dredge each piece of steak in the flour, making sure to shake off any excess for a light coating.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to fire up your Instant Pot! Select the Sauté function and heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in the pot.
Step 6
In batches, add the steak pieces and let them brown for about 2 minutes on each side.
Step 7
Once they have a lovely golden crust, transfer the steak to a warm plate and set it aside.
Step 8
With the steak resting, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil to the pot.
Step 9
Toss in the chopped bell pepper, onion, carrot, and celery, sautéing them until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 10
Stir in the garlic and let it cook for an additional minute until it releases its wonderful aroma.
Step 11
Now, it’s time to deglaze the pot! Pour in some Merlot wine, scraping up any delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom.
Step 12
This step adds depth to your dish.
Step 13
Next, stir in the canned tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, oregano, and paprika, creating a rich and flavorful sauce.
Step 14
Gently return the browned steak to the pot, nestling it into the tomato mixture.
Step 15
Close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot.
Step 16
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to select the manual pressure setting and set the timer for 30 minutes.
Step 17
As the pot builds pressure, take a moment to savor the enticing aromas wafting through your kitchen.
Step 18
Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 5 minutes.
Step 19
After that, carefully open the valve to release any remaining pressure, which should take another 5 minutes.
Step 20
Finally, unlock and remove the lid, revealing a beautifully cooked steak nestled in a savory sauce.
Step 21
Enjoy the fruits of your labor and get ready to dig into a delicious meal!.
