Ingredients

Servings:6
  • 1 lb Dry black beans, rinsed
  • 4 slices Smoked bacon, chopped
  • 8 oz Paio sausage or Kielbasa, sliced
  • 1 lb Beef chuck or pork shoulder, cubed
  • 1 large Onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 leaves Bay leaves
  • 4 cups Beef broth
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 whole Orange, halved(optional)
  • 1 tsp Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set the pressure cooker to 'Sauté' mode and crisp the bacon until the fat renders.

  2. 2

    Add the sliced sausage and cubed beef; brown the meat on all sides for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.

  4. 4

    Add the rinsed black beans, bay leaves, beef broth, and water to the pot.

  5. 5

    Place the orange halves on top (this helps tenderize the meat and cuts the heaviness) and lock the lid.

  6. 6

    Set to high pressure for 40 minutes, then allow a natural pressure release for 15 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove the orange halves and bay leaves; stir the stew vigorously to break a few beans and thicken the sauce.

  8. 8

    Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve hot over white rice.
