Cooking mince beef in pressure cooker

littlemoney

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this.

I have my parents pressure cooker and can remember mince beef being cooked in it and used for subsequent days for cottage pie and freezing. The problem is I can't remember how it was done and I can't find anything in the books I have and would like to learn how.

Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

Fry ingredients first without pressure and then 15 mins at low pressure apparently. I have just bought a recipe book in a CS earlier today! I think you would add liquid ingredients just before bringing up to pressure.

I cooked some mince in my pressure cooker a couple of hours ago. 10 minutes at high pressure. Browned first and cooked with carrots, celery, onion, beef stock, a few glugs of red wine and worcestershire sauce. The mince comes out soooo tender.

Thanks. How much liquid should I add and does the amount liquid vary with the amount of meat?

I used

500g mince
1 large onion
1 medium carrot (I used a large carrot and it made the gravy a little too sweet)
2 sticks celery
50 mls red wine (just add this amount of water if you've no wine)
250 mls water or beef stock (add a little more if you like lots of gravy)

Happy pressure cooking!
