Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup shallots, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Mince the shallots and set them aside. Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Set your pressure cooker to the sauté function and allow it to heat up. Once hot, add the olive oil and let it heat for about 1 minute until shimmering.
- Carefully place the seasoned ribeye steaks in the pressure cooker. Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust. Once seared, remove the steaks from the cooker and set them aside on a plate.
- Add the minced shallots to the pressure cooker, stirring frequently. Sauté the shallots for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze and lift any browned bits. This adds flavor to your sauce.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, mixing well to combine all the ingredients.
- Return the seared ribeye steaks to the pressure cooker, nestling them into the liquid. Make sure they are partially submerged in the broth mixture.
- Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set it to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Ensure the steam release valve is set to the sealing position.
- Once the cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick release of the pressure by turning the steam release valve to the venting position. Allow the steam to escape until the pressure indicator drops.
- Remove the steaks from the pressure cooker and set them aside on a cutting board to rest for a few minutes.
- Switch the pressure cooker back to the sauté function. Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and arrange them on serving plates. Spoon the creamy sauce over the sliced steak.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your delicious Pressure Cooker Steak Diane!
Tips
- Pat the steaks completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect sear and develop a delicious brown crust.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness if you prefer a specific level of steak cooking (145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium).
- Let the steaks rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider using freshly cracked black pepper and high-quality sea salt when seasoning the steaks.
- If your sauce is too thin after adding cream, let it simmer a bit longer to achieve the desired consistency.
- Choose ribeye steaks with good marbling for the most tender and flavorful results.
- Don't skip deglazing the pot – those browned bits are packed with incredible flavor that will enhance your sauce.
