Prep the Instant Pot Swiss Steak
Season your cube steaks to your taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
Slice one onion, one celery stalk, and grab a tablespoon of garlic. Set the Instant Pot to saute and add a little olive oil. Put the prepped vegetables in the pot and cook until softened.
Add the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, bay leaf, and sugar. Arrange the seasoned cube steaks in the pot.
Pour the can of diced tomatoes on top of the cube steak.
Prep the potato pack
Slice the red potatoes into small pieces to ensure even and thorough cooking. Place on foil. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and parsley. Top with a couple pats of butter.
Close the foil pack and leave a really small opening for steam at the top.
Cook the Instant Pot Swiss Steak
Close the lid according to manufacturers instructions and cook on high pressure (normal) for 20 minutes then follow with a 10 natural pressure release. Remove potatoes to bowl carefully. Thicken gravy to desired consistency with a cornstarch slurry.
