What's Cookin? Pinto Beans & Ground Beef Stew Under Pressure

With Winter just around the corner, the stews are getting heartier, the soups heavier. This recipe is perfect to go with Mexican food, like Spicy Not So Mexican Rice. I used dry beans, but you could substitute canned beans if you prefer. I adapted the recipe from one onKalyn's Kitchen.

Oh, and enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dried pinto beans, unsoaked (or can use 2 cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained)
  • about 2 T olive oil, divided (will depend on your pan)
  • 1 lb. low-fat ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 T minced garlic
  • 2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 T ground cumin

  • 1 T dried cilantro
  • 3 cupschickenbroth
  • 1 cup liquid from pressure cooking beans (or 1 cup water)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or more)
  • 2 T fresh squeezed lime juice


Preparation:

  • Put 1 cup dried pinto beans in pressure cooker with 2 tsp. olive oil, add water to fill pressure cooker half full, lock lid, and pressure cook at high pressure 15 minutes. (Start to time after high pressure is reached.)
  • Turn off heat and let pressure release naturally (about 15 minutes.)
  • When all pressure is released, drain beans into colander, reserving 1 cup bean cooking liquid. (You can also use 2 cans pinto beans, rinsed well in a colander placed in the sink, then drained.)


  • While beans are cooking, heat 2 tsp. olive oil in large heavy frying pan, add ground beef
  • saute until beef is well-browned, breaking apart with back of the turner as it cooks. When it's well browned, remove beef to a bowl.
  • Heat 2 tsp. more olive oil in frying pan, then add onion and saute about 5 minutes, or until onion is starting to brown.
  • Add minced garlic and saute2 minutes more, then addoregano, cumin, and dried cilantro and saute about 2 minutes more.
  • When beans have finished cooking and been drained into a colander, add cooked ground beef to pressure cooker, followed by onion/garlic/herb mixture.
  • Add chicken stock to frying pan and simmer a minute, scraping off any browned bits and adding that liquid to pressure cooker, along with 1 cup reserved bean cooking liquid (or water, if using canned beans.)
  • Add beans and can of tomatoes to pressure cooker.
  • Lock lid and pressure cook for 2 minutes at high pressure. (Start to time after high pressure is reached.)
  • Turn off heat and let pressure release naturally, about 15 minutes.
