Pressure Cooker Cholent or Beef Barley Stew
I grew up with cholent that my mother and grandmother cooked all day and night...this is my version that is a lot quicker and a little different. Cholent is a traditional Eastern European Jewish dish which cooked for 24 hours. My family used kosher meat of course-this dish tastes better with kosher beef--i am not sure why. I like to serve this over noodles. You can substitute Flanken for chuck
