  • Ingredients

  • 3 beef shanks (14 ounces each)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup dry red wine or beef broth
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 lemon slice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Directions

  • Sprinkle beef with salt. Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat; add oil. When oil is hot, brown beef in batches. Press cancel. Return all to pressure cooker. Add onion, carrot, green pepper, wine, broth and lemon.
  • Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 40 minutes. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. Press cancel. Remove meat and vegetables from pressure cooker; keep warm. Discard lemon.
  • Skim fat from cooking juices. Select saute setting and adjust for low heat. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with beef and vegetables.
