1 cup beer
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch salt
4 jumbo artichokes
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaf, or basil
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

chokes soak upside down in the lemon liquid.
3. In a food processor or by hand combine the remaining ingredients.
4. Turn the artichokes tips pointing up. Stuff tops with breadcrumb mixture.
5. Secure pressure cooker lid.
6. Set temperature to 400°. When pressure indicator pops up, reduce temperature

7. When time is up, turn temperature dial to off. Flip the pressure release valve to
release pressure. After pressure is released, remove the lid.
8. Test artichoke for doneness by pulling out one of the leaves and insure it is
tender. If not, re-cover and bring back to pressure for 5 more minutes.
PRESENTATION
Stuffed artichokes make a great appetizer, or as a vegetarian main course. You may
also top with half a cup of lump crabmeat after cooking and drizzle with warm butter
and a squeeze of lemon juice.

STUFFED FLANK STEAK
INGREDIENTS
1 (2 -3 pound) flank steak
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 strips lean bacon
4 slices ham
4 slices provolone cheese
4 large hard-cooked eggs, cut in half
10 jumbo stuffed green olives
1 large red bell pepper, julienned
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
3 cups beef broth
1 large onion, quartered
1 whole bay leaf
butcher's twine
METHOD
1. On cutting board, use a sharp knife to butterfly the flank steak right through the
center. Be careful to keep both thin slices attached. Season steak with salt and
pepper and cover with plastic wrap. Tenderize the meat by hitting it evenly with a
tenderizing mallet or heavy fry pan.
2. Remove plastic wrap and begin to assemble the roll. First lay all four strips of
bacon on flank lengthwise. Top with ham slices and then cheese slices. Place
eggs flat side down on top of the cheese. (Form a single row.) Lay the olives in a
row next to eggs. Lay the pepper slices in a row lengthwise next to olives.
Sprinkle with parsley. Roll the flank steak up lengthwise. Secure roll with butchers
twine. Tuck ends of roll into center before continuing to tie. Tie a knot every 2-3
inches, then one long tie lengthwise.
3. Preheat pressure cooker to 400°. Add beef broth, onion and bay leaf.
4. Place entire rolled flank into pot and secure pressure cooker lid.
5. When pressure indicator pops up, reduce temperature to 225-250°. Set a kitchen
timer for 45 minutes.
6. When time is up, turn temperature dial to off. Flip the pressure release valve to
release pressure. After pressure is released, remove lid.
7. Remove roast and refrigerate. Reserve liquid for serving.
PRESENTATION
Allow the flank roll to chill completely; this makes the roll set up and cut beautifully.
Cut into 1 1/2-inch slices. Each slice will look like a work of art. Serve cold on beautiful
lettuce leaves with mustard on the side. Or, after slicing, you may reheat and serve
with heated reserved juices. Either way, your guests will be very pleased.
