Meats

When it comes to creating juicy, tender, flavorful meat dishes, the pressure cooker has no equal. Even budget cuts of meat that usually require slow, moist-heat cooking will turn out succulent and savory— in very little time in the pressure cooker.

An important step when preparing meat in the pressure cooker is to sear meat to a crispy brown on all sides to seal in natural juices. This can be done right in the pressure cooker. The following recipes were written for fresh or completely thawed meats. To cook frozen meats, thaw one half hour or more so that the surface of the meat will sear crispy brown. Then increase the cooking times given in the recipes. Frozen beef, veal, and lamb should be cooked 25 minutes per pound. Frozen pork should be cooked 30 minutes per pound.

Cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the cut, the distribution of fat and bone, the grade and cut of the meat, and the degree of doneness desired.

After cooking if gravy is desired, stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour or cornstarch into 1⁄4 cup cold water. Heat cooking liquid in pressure cooker and slowly pour in flour mixture, stirring to blend. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly for 1 minute or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
