Instant Pot Beef Panang Curry Recipes

PRESSURE COOKER BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• In a blender jar, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and cilantro. (If you put the tomatoes at the bottom, they will liquefy first, and you won't have to add water.)
• Process until all the vegetables have turned to a smooth puree.
• Add the cumin, coriander, garam masala, cayenne, and salt. Process for several more seconds.
• In the inner cooking pot, add the beef and pour the vegetable puree on top.
• Lock the lid into place. Select high pressure and 20 minute cook time. Let the pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes.
• Remove the lid and stir the curry. Taste and adjust, adding more salt if you like. Serve with naan.

INSTANT POT® BEEF PANANG CURRY

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil and curry paste to the hot pot; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add sirloin strips and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in coconut milk. Cancel Saute mode. Close and lock the lid.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes.
• Unlock and remove the lid. Select Saute function. Mix in onion, bell peppers, peanut butter, coconut sugar, and fish sauce. Simmer until flavors are well combined, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more coconut milk if curry is too spicy. Sprinkle with Thai basil before serving.

INSTANT POT® SHRIMP CURRY

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select the Saute function. Add oil, mustard seeds, curry leaves, ginger-garlic paste, and fenugreek powder. Stir well to prevent burning or sticking to the pot. Add onion and tomato, along with salt and turmeric. Saute until onions are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons water, Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander, and cumin into a paste in a small bowl. Add spice paste to the onions in the pot and stir well for 1 minute. Add tamarind and 1/4 cup water and stir to prevent burning or sticking to the pot. Cook and stir until oil starts separating out, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 2 cups water and cover the pot with the lid. Simmer 2 minutes more on Saute mode.
• Add shrimp and stir well. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure and set the timer for 3 minutes. Allow about 10 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Select Saute mode again and stir coconut cream into the curry. Simmer until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt, if desired.

INSTANT POT® MASSAMAN BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• In large bowl, toss beef with garam masala and garlic powder. Spray 6-quart Instant Pot® insert with cooking spray. Select SAUTE; adjust to normal. Melt butter in insert. Add beef in 2 batches; cook 2 to 4 minutes on first side, or until browned. Turn and cook 2 to 4 minutes on second side, or until browned. Select CANCEL.
• Return all beef to insert. Stir in shallots and gingerroot; stir in potatoes. Stir in coconut milk, broth and soy sauce. Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 45 minutes. Select CANCEL. Set pressure valve to VENTING to quick-release pressure.
• In small bowl, beat lime juice, cornstarch, brown sugar and fish sauce with whisk. Select SAUTE, and adjust to normal; heat liquid to simmering. Gently stir in cornstarch mixture; cook 30 to 60 seconds, stirring frequently, until thickened. Select CANCEL. Serve over rice with peanuts and cilantro.

INSTANT POT BRAISED CURRY BEEF

Steps:

• First, blanch the beef to get rid of any impurities. Add the chunks of beef to a wok full of cold water, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, drain, rinse, and set aside.
• Heat ¼ cup of oil in the Instant Pot on the sauté setting. Add the garlic, shallots, and bay leaves to infuse the oil. Cook for a few minutes. Then add the curry powder and turmeric. Stir until well-combined. If need be, add a little bit more oil so the curry powder doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Take care not to burn the spices!
• After a minute, add in the beef, broth or water (reduce the amount of liquid here to ⅔ cup if using beef chuck instead of outside flank), sugar, salt, and tomato paste. Seal the Instant Pot, and turn on the meat stew setting for 45 minutes (reduce cooking time to 30 minutes if using beef chuck).
• Meanwhile, sauté the onions in 1 tablespoon oil in your wok for 1-2 minutes. They should still be a bit crunchy. Set aside. Release pressure completely from the Instant Pot using natural release.
• When safe, open the lid of the Instant Pot, and turn on the sauté setting. Stir in cornstarch slurry, and allow the sauce to thicken for a couple minutes. If the curry isn't thick enough for your liking, make and add more cornstarch slurry accordingly. After the sauce has thickened, stir in the sautéed onions. Taste for seasoning and add salt to taste. Serve over rice.
