A quicker take on Balkan flavors, this dish is made by pressure-cooking beef with a spiced ajvar sauce, shredding it, and stuffing it into somun bread. The pressure cooker reduces the hours-long cooking time to 15 minutes.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sear the beef

8 min

Heat the olive oil in a pressure cooker and sear the beef cubes over high heat until browned.

2

Add the spices

2 min

Add the onion, crushed garlic, sweet paprika, red pepper flakes, ajvar pepper spread, salt, and water, then close the pressure cooker.

3

Pressure-cook

15 min

Heat the pressure cooker over high heat until it whistles, then lower the heat and cook for 15 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally before opening.

4

Fill the somun rolls

5 min

Shred the cooked meat with two forks and generously fill the warmed somun rolls.

Reminder

Do not open the pressure cooker before the pressure has released naturally, or the meat may become tough. Allergen: contains wheat (gluten).
