Directions

1
In a bowl, combine onion, garlic, bay leaves, vinegar, soy sauce, and spices. Add the beef, coat well, and marinate for 30 minutes.
2
Heat oil in the pressure cooker over high heat. Sear the beef for 2 minutes per side until browned, then pour in the marinade.
3
Seal the pressure cooker lid. Once it reaches full pressure, lower the heat and cook for 1 hour.
4
Release pressure safely, slice the beef, spoon the pan juices over the top, and serve immediately.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a thicker sauce, remove the cooked beef and simmer the cooking juices uncovered for 5 minutes on high heat before plating.
