The steps:
1. Melt 1 T of butter (Use the real stuff, please!) in the bottom of your pressure cooker.
2. Slice and add 1 large onion and one small cabbage, stir around until brown.
3. Add 1 lb. pot roast meat (any cheap cut of beef will do). Brown on all sides.
4. Sprinkle with 2 T of brown sugar and 1 T of rice vinegar.
5. Pour in 1 c of water.
6. Seal cooker, bring up to high pressure, and cook for about 45 minutes.
The verdict:
Five out of six family members* gave this a thumbs up. One liked the beef, but not the cabbage. The sweet and sour flavor was just right, but the color was very bland and the cabbage was overdone.
What I learned:
I would definitely add some color to this dish to make it more attractive. Perhaps substituting red cabbage or tossing in a handful of cranberries would give it more appeal.
The next time I cook with cabbage I will add it about ten minutes before the end to avoid overcooking.
Will I try this recipe again:
Yes.
