this has been one of my favorites lately. 

1st, quick and easy pot roast vegetables - carrots, onions and red potatoes. Mix in a little salt and paper, soy and water. Garlic powder. Press the 5 minute button. And boom!

2nd - ny strips. About 3/4 inch or less thick. (Picked these up at Winn Dixie last week for 10 dollars) Cast iron blazing hott on the mini. And 1 minute flips until 125 to 130 ish.

    @Bart1434 not sure where you live, or your budget. But I have had great luck with finding cast iron at the flea market. Sometimes its rusty and old. But a quick season in the oven and it's good as new

    Thank you slovelad .  Until recently, I had never cooked anything other than burgers, hot dogs, and steaks.  Some of the fabulous cooks I see on here are interesting, but I REALLY appreciate seeing a quick, simple meal like this.  I will have to add this to my to do list.   Thanks again.

    @FarmerTom if you like quick meals. A pressure cooker is a must.

    Looks great man.  The crust on those steaks looks crazy good.

    Just to clarify- veggies done in the pressure cooker?  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Love this cook.  Quick and easy.  I use the exact same method except I lean towards the ribeye.  Good work!

    I too would like to know what device the five minute button resides on. Microwave? Pressure cooker? I'm sure it's a pressure cooker since this forum is so good at removing money from my wallet!

    @northGAcock @volfan1 sorry for the confusion. Wvrything except the ateak was done in the pressure cooker.

    i have used that thing every day since I've had it. It makes amazing rice, chicken, veggis, and everything else I've thrown at it.

    i would have never bought one, but now I won't live without one

    You know I enjoy cooking on my cast iron for a good sear, however each I time I do a steak this way indoors I smoke the place up and set off all the smoke alarms. I see you seared it off on the egg.


    Sometimes in the dead of winter I try the indoor sear, from a flavor standpoint it is severely lacking compared to the egg. 

    Does anybody sear indoors or is this strictly and outdoor on the egg method?

    Looks very good, like the under pressure veggies. Why use the egg for a CI sear? Suppose if you do not have a HOB or Wok burner it may make sense. I like the CI sear and use a bit of Ghee (clarified butter) to develop the crust, the smoke point is about 500ºF and it works very well.
