Pressure Cooker Beef Stew And Dumplings Food

PRESSURE COOKER BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in the bottom of the pressure cooker over medium-high heat. If your cooker has an insert, remove it and cook directly in the bottom of the pot. Add the onion and beef, and cook until browned on the outside.
• Stir in the water, bouillon cubes and carrots, close the lid, and secure the pressure regulator. Heat until you start to hear sizzling, then reduce the heat to medium, and set your timer for 20 minutes. If you have an adjustable pressure regulator, set it for 10 pounds of pressure.
• Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. This whole process should take about the same amount of time as the rest of the stew.
• When the 20 minutes are up, release the pressure from the pot according to the manufacturer's instructions - mine needs to sit under cold running water for 5 minutes until the lid can be released.
• Remove the lid, and place the pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Stir the cornstarch into a small amount of cold water to make a slurry. Stir this into the stew, and cook for a few minutes. Add the potatoes to the stew, or place them in serving dishes, and ladle the stew over them.

MOM'S BEEF STEW (PRESSURE COOKER)

Steps:

• Cut the roast into chunks, about 1 inch (or larger if that is your preference). Heat oil in bottom of pressure cooker until hot and add the meat all at once (do not turn for at least 1 minute - you really want to let the meat sear - this gives the stew such yummy flavor.
• Stir the meat, letting it brown on all sides. Add the chopped garlic, stir for 1 minute, then add the onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, salt, pepper, parsley, water and optional beef bouillon(the bouillon gives a stronger flavor - you can also wait to see how it comes out, and if you feel that it's not flavorful enough, you can add the beef bouillon and boil the stew for a minute or so).
• Lock the pressure cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over high heat.
• Cook 15 minutes.
• Cool pot immediately and serve. ENJOY!
• Optional ingredients - you can add some chopped tomatoes if you'd like before cooking, or after bringing it to pressure, you can throw in some canned mushrooms or frozen peas and heat thoroughly.

BEEF STEW AND DUMPKINGS (IN A PRESSURE COOKIER)

Steps:

• STEW: Place the beef chunks, water, and onions in the pressure cooker. Secure the cover according to your pressure cooker directions and cook on the stove for 8 minutes after the correct pressure has been reached, which only takes a few minutes. For my Presto pressure cooker I start on highest heat until I hear the steam, then I reduce the heat to very low and start the timer for 8 minutes. You should hear a slow, steady flow of steam for 8 minutes.
• Remove the pressure cooker from the heat and COOL IT AT ONCE by putting it into the sink and running cold water over the cover. Wait for the pressure knob to lower. You will hear and see the pressure knob lower.
• Remove the cover and add the potatoes, carrots, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves.
• Secure the cover, and place on the stove over the highest heat. When you hear the steam in a slow, steady flow, reduce the heat to very low and start the timer for 3 minutes.
• Remove the pressure from the heat and COOL IT AT ONCE by putting it into the sink and running cold water over the cover. Wait for the pressure knob to lower. You will hear and see the pressure knob lower.
• Remove the cover. Now you will thicken the stew. Here is an easy way.
• THICKENING: In a plastic 8-ounce cup, stir the water and flour together to form a paste. Pour the paste into a small strainer held over the stew. Use a spoon to scrape the paste into the stew. You will see the stew thicken. Gently stir the stew. For a thicker broth, add a little more flour and water mixture. For a thinner broth, add more water. Depending on how much thickening you use, you might need more salt and pepper. Taste the broth, and add more salt and pepper if you'd like. (Discard the plastic cup! No clean-up!)
• DUMPLINGS: In a medium bowl, mix the Bisquick mix and milk together to form a soft batter. Bring the stew to a very gentle boil on medium low heat top of the stove. Drop dollops of dumpling batter in whatever size you want, on top of the boiling stew. Cook UNCOVERED on low heat for 10 minutes, then place a COVER on the pot, and cook covered, for 10 minutes more.
• Serve immediately.
