Introduction

This is among my many spanish favorites for its' flavor, simplicity, and minimal ingredients. If you have a pressure cooker handy, it'll cook in less than 20 minutes, give or take depending on desired consistency. It goes perfectly with rice or simply vegetables, if you choose. Either way, it will be one of your favorites also. This is among my many spanish favorites for its' flavor, simplicity, and minimal ingredients.

Ingredients

4 8-oz sirloin steaks, lean, thin-cut

3 medium-size potatoes, quartered and peeled

1 medium onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tsp oregano, ground

1/2 tsp cumin, ground

1 bay leaf, whole

1/8 green bell pepper, sliced

1 packet Sazon Goya

4-oz golden cooking wine

4-oz tomato sauce

2 tbsp spanish olives

salt, to taste

1 tbsp cooking oil, canola or olive, you choose

water

Directions

First step is to cut steak in half so as to make 8 servings; set aside.
In the pressure cooker with the stove set to medium, add oil, onions, garlic, pepper, oregano, cumin, bay leaf and tomato sauce so as to create what we call a "sofrito", saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired consistency. Now add the steak for another 2 minutes. Now goes the potatoes, cooking wine, olives, enough water to cover both potatoes and steaks, Sazon packet and salt. Stir thoroughly and if you feel you want to add a little bit more of any one ingredient, feel free. Now cover the pressure cooker, once it starts to make noise, lower the heat to medium low for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes have passed and the pressure is all gone, remove the lid and check the consistency. If you added enough water to cover the ingredients, it may be a little runny; if so, give it another 10 minutes for desired consistency. It make 8 4-oz. servings and it goes perfectly with the rice. Savor and enjoy!
