   Step 5: Bring the cooker to its working pressure, then pressure cook for the duration specified by its manufacturer for your beef cut and chunk size. Time spent reaching pressure is separate from cooking at pressure. Choose that duration for the timer.

   Step 6: Remove the cooker from the heat, or turn it off. Depressurise fully following its instructions before opening; never open a pressurised cooker. Check that the beef and vegetables are tender, and continue cooking the thin broth if needed before adding the roux. Once tender and depressurised, break the measured Japanese curry roux into chunks and add it off the heat.
