Preparation

Step 1

Select saute or browning on your pressure cooker cooking pot and allow to fully heat.

Add oil and coat the bottom of the pot. Add onions, peppers, garlic and ground beef.

Saute until ground beef is slightly brown. Use a splatter guard and carefully pour out the grease/liquid.

Pour in red wine vinegar and deglaze the cooking pot, if needed. Mix in worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and tomato puree. Add salt, pepper, chili, mustard, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, water and mix together.

Lock on lid and close pressure valve. Cook at high pressure for 3 minutes. When beep sounds, allow a 15 minute natural pressure release.

Open lid and select saute/browning. Simmer until much of the liquid has evaporated and consistency is thick.

Serve on toasted and buttered Kaiser Rolls or sturdy hamburger buns.
