  • Pressure Cook - put on the lid and cook on high pressure for 25-30 minutes with 10 minutes natural release pressure.
  • Meat - take out the meat and set it aside.

  • Cream - add the cream and the butter - and stir and taste - season if necessary.
  • Mushrooms - add in the second half of the mushrooms -and continue boiling for another 2-4 minutes and the sauce will continue to reduce,
