PRESSURE COOKER PORK STEAKS, ST. LOUIS BBQ STYLE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the pork steaks evenly with the fine sea salt and the barbecue rub.
• Pour 1 cup of water into the pressure cooker pot, add the pork steaks in a loose pile, and then drizzle ½ cup of barbecue sauce over the pork steaks. (Don't stir - we want the sweet barbecue sauce to float on top of the water to keep it from burning.)
• Lock the lid on the pressure cooker. Cook at high pressure for 45 minutes in an electric pressure cooker ("manual" or "pressure cook" mode in an Instant Pot), or for 40 minutes in a stovetop pressure cooker. Let the pressure release naturally, about 15 more minutes.
• Carefully remove the pork steaks from the pressure cooker; they're fall-apart tender. Measure out ½ cup of the pot liquid, and stir in ½ cup of barbecue sauce. (If you have one, use a fat separator to defat the pot liquid first). Brush the pork steaks with this sauce. Optional: broil the pork steaks until the sauce is bubbling and browning at the edges, then brush with another layer of the sauce. (Broilers vary a lot, so keep an eye on them - it takes about 5 minutes for my broiler to brown the steaks.) Serve, passing the rest of the sauce for dipping.

• Season steak with salt, pepper and anything else you desire and place on top of onions. Try to overlap the least possible.

• Cut potatoes into quarters and place inside pot on sides of steak. Sprinkle salt and pepper on potatoes.
• Close lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for 5 minutes. (NOTE: timing will vary depending on how thick and large your pieces are and how well done you like them but this has been perfect for us)

• Remove steak, potatoes and onions and set pot to saute if you want to thicken sauce.

INSTANT POT PORK SHOULDER STEAKS WITH MUSHROOMS, POTATOES AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Turn your Instant Pot to the saute "more" setting. While the pot is heating up trim your pork steaks of excess fat. Generously salt and pepper your pork steaks. When the pot reaches HOT on the display add in the oil and let it heat for a minute. Then arrange each of the pork steaks on the bottom of the pot so they are all in contact with the bottom of the pot (you may need to work in batches). Let the steaks brown for 5 minutes. Do not move the steaks or turn them over for the full 5 minutes. You'll be tempted to move them or mess around with them, but don't.
• While the meat is browning prepare your vegetables. Dice the onion, mince the garlic and peel the potatoes. Slice the potatoes into quarter inch rounds. Slice the mushrooms.
• When the 5 minutes is up remove the pork steaks and place them on a plate. I only browned one side of the steaks for sake of time but if you want you can brown both sides. Add the onion into the hot pot and saute for 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Pour the chicken broth in and deglaze the pot.
• Stir in the mushrooms, mustard, lemon juice and tarragon. Nestle the pork steaks into the pot.
• Place the potatoes in a oven safe dish that will fit inside your Instant Pot. You can use a pyrex,* corningware* or cake pan*. Salt and pepper the potatoes and toss. Cover the dish with foil. Gently lower the dish into the Instant Pot on top of the pork.
• Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button (high pressure) to 6 minutes. After the time is up allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minute. Then release any remaining pressure by moving the valve to venting.
• Carefully remove the dish of potatoes and set aside. Pour the half and half into the sauce. Turn the Instant Pot to the "saute" more setting. Stir 2 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2 Tbsp of cold water together in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the pot and let the sauce thicken. You may need to make more slurry and add it in, depending on how thick you want your sauce.
• Once sauce is thickened salt and pepper to taste. Serve sauce, mushrooms and pork over the top of the potatoes.
