Rocks in My Dryer hosts Works for Me Wednesday again today. My post today is a recipe - kind of. My parents gave me a pressure cooker for Christmas, and it has become one of my most used and treasured kitchen possessions. One of the easiest things to make for dinner is a meat and rice/barley dish that my family loves.
I start with about a pound of cut up beef or venison, often frozen. I put this in the pressure cooker and then add 1-2 cups of rice or barley. Then, I add water or broth - about twice as much liquid as rice or barley. Next, I add some spices and onion soup mix. If I have some, I put in one or two cans of cut or french sliced green beans. I then cook it under high pressure for about 40 minutes if the meat isn't frozen to start with, for an hour if I started with frozen meat. It does taste better if you brown the meat first, but that adds complexity, so I rarely do it. When it's done, serve in bowls. That's it. Really simple, but it works for me.
I'm going to have to try this recipe. My mom is bringing some venison next week that someone gave her. She doesn't know how to cook it. I think she's bringing venison tips and ground venison. Should be interesting. If you have any more good venison recipes, please share!
