PREPARATION:

Pan-fried steak (do this step during pre-prep):

1. Arrange the steaks on the cutting board, cover with cling film and whisk until very thin, without tearing.
2. Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
3. In a bowl, mix the garlic, bacon, parsley, salt and pepper.
4. Spread this paste on one side of each steak.
5. Set aside and return to preliminary preparation.

Pan-fried steak – stuffing:

1. Distribute the carrot and courgettes in the center of each steak, leaving space around the edges to facilitate sealing.
2. Fold the sides of the steak over the filling and then roll it lengthwise, forming a roll.
3. To close the steaks, use toothpicks, placing the same quantity on all of them (e.g. 3 toothpicks per steak) to facilitate removal at the end of cooking. If you prefer, close it with string, tying it from end to end.
4. When you’re halfway through the process of assembling the steak, heat the pressure cooker to medium heat.

Steak in the pan (Cooking)

1. In the heated pressure cooker add a drizzle of olive oil and brown the steaks on all sides – divide depending on the quantity you are preparing.
2. Remove the steaks and reserve them on a serving platter.
3. In the same pan, sauté the onion and the chopped tomato until golden.
4. Then add the seedless pepper cut into pieces and sauté for a few more minutes.
5. Transfer the steaks to the pan, add the red wine and let the alcohol evaporate over high heat.
6. Add the diced peeled tomato with the juice.
7. Add a little boiling water, enough to almost cover.
8. Add the bay leaf, close the pan and bring it to pressure over a high heat.
9. After bringing to pressure, reduce to medium heat and cook for 25-30 minutes.
10. Once the estimated time has passed, remove the pressure from the pan and open it to check if the meat is tender, without falling apart.
11. Remove the steaks from the pan and carefully remove any toothpicks or wires, making sure they are all removed.
12. If the sauce is too liquid, keep it over medium-high heat to reduce for a few more minutes. If you prefer a smooth sauce, pass it through a sieve.
13. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
14. Remove the bay leaf and complete with the chopped parsley.

FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:

1. Serve the pressure cooker steaks on a serving plate or distribute among plates.
2. This meat is an excellent option to accompany pasta, polenta and rice.
