Tips
If you do not have a pressure cooker make the soup on the stovetop.
Keep the steak aside.
Follow the recipe for the vegetables and add the water reducing the soup for around 35 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
For the steak, dredged in flour and fry in a frying pan until sealed, but still rare.
Add to the meat to the soup for 5 minutes and serve immediately or test a piece of meat to check that it is cooked through and tender.
Any overcooking will lead to the meat being very chewy if you do overcook the meat simmer for another 30 minutes until the meat tenderises.
