Pressure Cooker Pepper Steak image

Pepper steak is one of my favorite dishes but I was always disappointed with beef that was too tough. This recipe solves that problem! I've stored leftovers in one big container and also in individual portions for quick lunches.-Julie Rhine, Zelienople, Pennsylvania
