Beef Thai Red Curry Fusion Recipe 8 Qt Pressure Cooker

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 6-to-8-quart stovetop pressure cooker over medium-high, or in an electric pressure cooker set to saute. Add shallots, garlic, and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until shallots are golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add curry paste and fish sauce and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add squash, coconut milk, 1 1/2 cups water, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Stovetop: Secure lid. Bring to high pressure over medium-high heat; reduce heat to maintain pressure and cook 12 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly release pressure, then remove lid.Electric: Secure lid. Manually set cooker to 15 minutes and let it come to pressure. Once time is complete, turn off and quickly release pressure, then remove lid.
• Stir in noodles and let stand until tender, about 5 minutes. Add lime juice; stir to combine. Transfer curry to bowls, top with peanuts and cilantro, and serve.

Steps:

• For the red curry paste: In a food processor, combine the cilantro, oil, ginger, lemongrass, coriander, cumin, shrimp paste, garlic, red chiles, lime leaf, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pulse to a consistent paste.
• For the curry: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring well, until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pot and increase the heat to high. Sprinkle the flank steak with a pinch of salt, then add it to the pot; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the steak and add the onions and peppers; cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk, bring to a gentle boil, then add the curry paste back to the pot; stir well. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. (If the coconut milk breaks and separates, don't worry: it will come back together to a smooth consistency.) Add the chicken broth and fish sauce, and continue simmering until the sauce has a nice, gravy-like consistency, 12 to 15 minutes. Return the beef to the pot and finish with the cilantro, basil, mint and lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Steps:

• Prep the meat and veggies.
• Cut the meat into uniform 1-2-inch sections, trimming off any excess fat. (Bonus points for removing tendons and silver skin!). Reserve until Step 9.
• Roughly cut the bell pepper. Quarter the onions.
• In pressure cooker pan, heat olive oil on medium-high heat until shimmering. Brown the onions and peppers, until one side is slightly charred.
• Remove the vegetables and reserve until Step 13.
• Make the curry sauce: Add the cream from the top of the coconut milk, and deglaze the pan. Add the 4 oz. of Thai curry paste and mix well.
• Cook 4-6 minutes until bubbling and frying, stirring often.
• Add the rest of the coconut milk, the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, and basil. Mix well.
• Add the beef, and top with whole red potatoes.
• Optional: Place rice with 2 cups water in a metal bowl. Cover with a lid or tinfoil, and carefully place on top of the curry. (Make some handles by cutting aluminum foil in long strips and at least triple-layering it. Then you will be able to remove the hot bowl easily once cooking has completed.).
• Bring to pressure on high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting that maintains pressure and cook for 12 minutes (begin timing once pressure is reached).
• Remove from heat. Do a quick pressure release per your pressure cooker manual's recommendation.
• Remove lid and add back the bell pepper and onions. Recover and bring pressure back up for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat. Allow cooker to depressurize naturally.
• Remove the lid, directing steam away from you. Carefully remove the rice bowl.
• With all the sauce, you'll want to serve in a soup bowl. Scoop some rice into the bowl, then top with curry, meat, and veggies.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a pressure cooker. Season the beef and fry in batches for 5-8 mins, turning occasionally until evenly browned. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat the remaining oil and butter in the pan and fry the onion gently for 10 mins or until golden brown and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric, coriander and cardamom and fry for 2 mins. Stir in the beef and cook for 1 min to coat the beef in the spices.
• Tip in the tomatoes, stock and sugar and bring to a simmer. Lock the lid onto the cooker and bring up to high pressure. Cook for 15 mins, then turn off the heat and let the pressure drop naturally. Give everything a good stir and add more water if the sauce is already thick.
• Lock the lid back in place and give it another 10 mins, then let the pressure drop naturally. Check the meat is tender - depending on the cut it might need 5 mins more.
• Take it off the heat, stir through the garam masala and cream, if you like. Season to taste. Scatter over the coriander and serve with naan bread or rice.

Steps:

• Heat a little of the oil in a large pan and brown the beef in batches, removing to a plate after, reserving any juices. If your slow cooker has a browning function, use this instead. Meanwhile, in a mini chopper or food processor, whizz half the coriander, the chopped lemongrass, garlic, chillies and galangal with the rest of the oil until you have a rough paste.
• Turn the slow cooker to High. Heat the paste for a few mins, then add the beef and all the remaining ingredients, apart from the remaining coriander and lime juice. Turn slow cooker to Low and cook for 8 hrs, or until the meat is falling off the bone.
• If using beef ribs, remove bones from the beef, then shred the meat with 2 forks. If the sauce is too thin, strain it off and boil it to reduce. Stir in the remaining coriander and lime juice, then season with more fish sauce or sugar.
