Critical Success Points

  • Cocinar la carne en olla a presión hasta que esté tierna

Safety Warnings

  • Cuidado al liberar la presión de la olla para evitar quemaduras.
  • El aceite caliente puede salpicar; mantenga la cara alejada.
  • Manipule la carne caliente con pinzas o utensilios resistentes al calor.
