Detailed Steps for Cooking Pressure Cooker Home-style Beef
Prepare the side ingredients, cut them into large pieces to prevent them from being crushed in the pressure cooker.
Put the beef in cold water with ginger slices and cooking wine to remove blood, then rinse it clean.
Cut the beef into large pieces, use an old pot to caramelize the beef (because of the large bones, they may scratch the bottom of the pot). Stir-fry for a while until it browns, then pour in cooking wine along the edge of the pot and cook for a while.
When most of the beef’s own moisture has evaporated, pour in boiling water to cover the beef, bring to a boil over high heat for two minutes.
Transfer to a pressure cooker, add Sichuan peppercorns, black pepper, chili, and onion. Once it reaches pressure, cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes (keep the onion whole to prevent it from becoming mushy and affecting the appearance).
After 15 minutes, release the pressure from the cooker using cold water, add all the side ingredients, soy sauce, and salt. Close the lid, bring it back to pressure, and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
