Pressure Cooker German Goulash
I always think of goulash from living in Germany when my father was in the Army there. We had a German friend who didn't speak English, but she would always bring us her traditional dishes to try and this was one of my favorites. I'm sure she cooked it in the oven or on top of the stove for hours, but having a pressure cooker speeds up the time so it's ready in less than an hour. —Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona

Consider using your stovetop (gasp!) and a large skillet (12 inch, if you have one) to brown the meat. Deglaze the skillet with the broth and pour everything into the IP, then proceed with the recipe. While browning the meat on the stove, you can brown the onions in the pressure cooker, accomplishing two jobs at the same time. Much faster.
Really was surprised at how good this goulash was. Thought it'd be good like most goulash recipes but this was even better. I'm sure it's because of the unique seasonings. i.e. marjoram, Hungarian paprika and the caraway. The wine added a nice layer of flavor also.
