Feijoada (Brazilian-Style Beef Stew)

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in an electric pressure cooker on the "saute" setting. Add the onion and poblano pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until beginning to soften, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant. Turn pressure cooker off.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and black pepper. Brown the beef in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan, adding remaining 1 tablespoon oil as needed. Transfer each batch to the pressure cooker.

Step 3

Add kielbasa, orange juice, beef broth, tomatoes, vinegar and chili powder and stir to combine.

Step 4

Secure the lid on the pressure cooker. Set pressure cooker to "High" and let the pressure cooker do its thing for 21 minutes.

Step 5

Release the pressure as s-l-o-w-l-y as possible. Stir in black beans and corn starch slurry. Set pressure cooker to "simmer" and simmer gently until thickened. Let stew rest for 5 minutes to thicken more.

Step 6

Serve over brown rice (optional) with jalapeno slices, chopped red onion, orange and lime wedges and cilantro sprigs for garnish.
