Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5-2 lbs stew meat still frozen
  • 2-3 gravy packets, 3 if you want it thicker
  • 2 c beef broth or water
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • salt and pepper to taste at the end

Instructions

  • Unwrap frozen stew meat and set inside your pressure cooker. In a bowl whisk together your broth and 2 packets of dry gravy mix. Pour this on top of your meat.
  • Seal lid and steam valve and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes with a 10 minute natural release. Release rest of pressure and break up meat so it is now submerged into the liquid below. Add garlic salt and pepper, stir.
  • If you want a thick gravy at the end, take out some of the hot liquid and whisk with the last gravy packet. Pour this in.
  • Seal lid and steam valve again and set to high pressure again for 35 minutes. Allow for a 10 minute natural release, then release rest of pressure.
  • Lift lid and serve over rice or mashed potatoes.
