Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 stalks celery stalks
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the beef round steak by cutting it into 4 equal portions. In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt and black pepper. Season both sides of the steak pieces with this mixture.

Step 2

Dredge the seasoned steaks in the all-purpose flour, lightly coating both sides. Shake off excess flour to avoid clumping.

Step 3

Set the pressure cooker to 'Sauté' mode. Heat the olive oil in the pot. Once hot, sear the steaks on both sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks and set them aside.

Step 4

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Wash, peel, and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Wash and chop the celery stalks into small pieces.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pressure cooker. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and aromatic.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot for added flavor.

Step 7

Add the crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Return the seared steaks to the pressure cooker, nestling them into the sauce and vegetables.

Step 9

Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set it to 'High Pressure' for 25 minutes.

Step 10

After cooking, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before carefully performing a quick release for any remaining pressure.

Step 11

Remove the lid and check the tenderness of the steaks. If desired, use the 'Sauté' mode to reduce the sauce slightly to thicken it further.

Step 12

Garnish the finished dish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve the Swiss steak over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
