I used 1/2 lb of meat, recipe is easily increased.
Cheater Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Sauerbraten
1/2 lb stew meat-ideally browned, I just added it to the vessel
1/2 tsp pickling spices in tea ball or cheesecloth for easy removal
pinch S&P
1/4 large onion, cut into 1/2" wedges
1 stalk celery, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 large carrot, cut into 1/2" pieces-I cut the fat end in half lengthwise too
2 Tblsp crushed ginger snap cookies
2 Tblsp red wine vinegar
2 Tblsp ketchup
1/4 tsp Beef Better Than Bouillon or Bouillon granules
cooked noodles, spätzle or mashed potatoes for serving
parsley for garnish, if you have it
- In a perfect world sprinkle with S&P and brown the meat in some oil using the sauté function of the Instant Pot. I just tossed my meat into the vessel.
- Add 3/4 C water and pickling spices to vessel. If using more meat, only add 1 C water no matter how much meat you're using.
- Seal lid, cook for 50 minutes, use automatic release.
- Place onion, celery and carrot over meat in vessel. Seal lid, cook for 4 minutes, use automatic release.
- Pour liquid into a heat resistant bowl or cup.
- Gently stir the cookies, vinegar, ketchup and bouillon into the meat. Add a little of the cooking liquid if too thick. I didn't need any extra liquid.
- Serve over noodles, spätzle or mashed potatoes and garnish with parsley if using.
Das ist gut!
