  • Heat olive oil in pressure cooker skillet over medium-high; sear patties 3-4 minutes on each side, then remove.
  • Lower heat to medium. Melt 1 tablespoon butter, add sliced onions, cook 10-15 minutes until caramelized.
  • Add remaining Worcestershire and stir. Return patties to pan, nestle in onions, close lid. Pressure cook on low 15 minutes.
  • Do a slow release. Remove steaks. Stir in slurry of cornstarch and water. Simmer until gravy thickens.
  • Return steaks to pan if desired and spoon thick onion gravy over top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cooked and crumbled bacon is wonderful to mix into the patties. Top with Swiss cheese or add mushrooms to the gravy. For creamier texture, mix in a can of cream of mushroom soup with a dab of sour cream.
