Directions

  1. Sprinkle steak with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Place steak, quartered onion, pressed garlic, and broth in a 3-quart pressure cooker.
  3. Cover cooker with lid, and seal securely. Set on high-pressure setting, if available. Cook over medium-high heat until pressure cooker steams and full pressure is achieved. Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 45 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat; release pressure. Carefully remove lid so that steam escapes away from you.
  5. Remove meat from cooker.
  6. Let cool slightly. Strain onion mixture, reserving broth for another use; discard solids.
  7. Saut chopped onion and bell pepper in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat 7 minutes or until tender.
  8. Add minced garlic, and saut 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon salt, diced tomatoes, lime juice, hot sauce, ground cumin, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, 7 minutes or until most of the liquid evaporates.
  9. Shred beef, and coarsely chop; add to tomato mixture. Spoon about 1/4 cup meat mixture over bottom half of each roll; cover with tops of rolls.
  10. *Hawaiian bread rolls may be found in the deli section of your supermarket. Other small rolls may be substituted.
