Pressure Cooker Olive And Beef Soup Recipes

INSTANT POT® BEEF AND VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Cook beef cubes until brown on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Cook carrots, onion, and celery until translucent, about 5 minutes. Return beef to the pot; add water, turnips, green beans, tomato paste, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed, and bay leaves.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Taste the soup; add more salt, garlic, onion, and pepper, if needed.

INSTANT POT VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

Steps:

• Season beef with salt and pepper. Then, using sauté setting - once hot add 2 tablespoons of oil and thoroughly brown beef. Do this in two batches and do not stir too frequently. After the first batch, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Do not wipe or rinse bottom of pot! There's so much flavor in there!
• Continuing on sauté setting - add onions, carrots, garlic, celery, mushrooms, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, making sure to scrape up any bits on bottom.
• Then, return beef to pot and add all remaining ingredients (you can really add whatever vegetables you prefer) and mix well. Lock lid and cook for 10 minutes at high pressure.
• Once cook time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally (will take about 25 minutes). Remove thyme bundle and bay leaves. Serve and enjoy!

PULLED FLANK STEAK BEEF SOUP IN PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• 1. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to inner pot of electric pressure cooker. Saute the whole flank steak on high for a couple minutes on each side so that it is browned well. Don't cut into pieces at this time.
• 2. Add 6 cups of veggie broth, 1/2 cup sherry, carrots, potatoes, salt, pepper, bay leaves, potatoes, celery, peppercorns, garlic, chopped onions, chopped green onions and 4-5 whole sprigs of thyme . Set aside. Note, you aren't adding the nutmeg, worcestershire dill or peas until after the pressure cooking step.
• 3. Clean, slice, and quick saute in 2 tbsps of olive oil the mushrooms separately in a frying pan. Goal is to soften them up and give them a golden hint. 3-4 minutes is fine. They will finish cooking thoroughly in pressure cooker but this give a nice appearance in the soup. And the quantity will shrink while cooking, as expected. Toss into the pressure cooker with everything else in step 2.
• 4. Seal your pressure cooker and cook on high for 30 minutes. Allow for a natural release of steam for an additional 15 minutes.
• 5. While that's cookin', Boil the pasta of your choice in hot salted water with a little olive oil until Al Dente. I use an italian pasta that is a 1" by 2" rectangle when cooked. Bowtie pasta or large egg noodles are a fine alternative. Drain and set aside to add to your soup as the very last step, Note that you don't want too many noodles, because they grow in size. 1 cup or 1 large handful of DRY is more than enough. If you have too many noodles, your soup broth will get sucked up into the noodles.
• 6. Open your pressure cooker and remove the bay leaves, the remains of the sprigs of thyme. Your pressure cooker should be on WARM at this time. Take out the flank steak and pull it apart with two forks. Cut the strings of steak in half as well. Toss back into pressure cooker.
• 7. Add raw or frozen peas, worcestershire sauce, pinch of nutmeg, and the fresh chopped dill to the soup. (I didn't have peas, so I used frozen edamame. Can also use lima beans as an alternative. Basically you want some color. )
• 8. Add the cornstarch or flour to 1/4 cup of cold water and stir to dissolve. (I prefer cornstarch) Then add to the soup mixture that is still warming in the pressure cooker. In non-pressure mode: turn the soup up from WARM to SAUTE or HI Heat mode to get the soup boiling for a minute or two so that the flour or cornstarch thickens it up a bit. Only do this for a few minutes max. Then put your soup back on WARM mode.
• 9. Add your drained noodles to the soup. If you need more "broth" in your soup, adjust the liquids now to your liking. Cover the soup and let sit on WARM covered for 15-20 min so all the final additional ingredients added after pressure cooking have a chance to meld together with the other ingredients. Then serve! Serve with soup crackers.
