PRESSURE COOKER RED WINE BEEF STEW RECIPE

Steps:

• Prep vegetables and then beef.
• Rinse beef and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut the beef into 2 inch pieces, trimming most of the fat. Season cuts of beef with salt and pepper. Sprinkle pieces with flour on the beef (you may not use all of the flour).
• Set pressure cooker to Brown and set time to 25 minutes. Add 1 Tablespoon oil and allow the pressure cooker to heat up for 2 to 3 minutes. Brown beef on each side in batches, about 2 to 4 minutes on each side, adding more oil if needed. Remove beef and place on a clean plate and set aside.
• Add carrots, celery and onions to pressure cooker, cook vegetables for about 3 minutes or until aromatic and slightly browned, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and stir and cook for 1 minute. Add potatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Return beef to pressure cooker and add red wine, broth, soy sauce, dried thyme and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Mix with a rubber spatula. Place lid on top of pressure cooker and turn to closed position. Make sure the vent on top is set to closed as well. Set pressure cooker to High Pressure for 40 minutes.
• Release the pressure (set vent to open and allow pressure to release until there is no more hissing noise) and check beef and potatoes, if beef is tender enough to cut with a fork and potatoes are cooked, cooking is complete. Skim the fat on top with a spoon and remove bay leaves. Optional: Leave pressure cooker on warm until ready to serve.

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.

INSTANT POT BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Add the oil to the Instant Pot® and set to saute (see Cook's Note).
• Meanwhile, toss the beef with the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and a generous amount of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the meat and all the flour to the Instant Pot® in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Stir once and allow to brown for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to coat. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
• Add the carrots, celery, thyme and onions and stir to coat. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and set to pressure cook on high for 40 minutes. After the pressure cycle is complete follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.

PRESSURE COOKER ITALIAN BEEF STEW

Steps:

• I browned the meat with oil and onions in my PC, you can use a separate pan for browning if you prefer.
• Add the mushrooms and garlic, and let cook until the mushrooms release their liquid.
• Add the tomato sauce, wine, bay leaf and all seasonings EXCEPT salt.
• Add a bit of water, maybe 1 1/2 to 2 cups (to bring ingredient level to just over 1/3 capacity of my PC).
• Secure lid, bring to HIGH pressure and cook for 18-20 minutes.
• Let pressure release NATURALLY (it took about 15-18 minutes in my PC).
• Add potatoes and carrots, give all a good stir.
• Secure lid again and bring to HIGH pressure, cook veggies for 4 minutes.
• Quickly release pressure (with quick release valve) and test carrots & potatoes for doneness (they should still be a bit too firm).
• Add the green beans and give all a good stir. Secure lid and bring the PC up to LOW pressure, and cook for 2 minutes.
• Remove from stove, quick release pressure (with quick release valve), removed lid and give the stew a stir.
• Carefully (very hot!) sample it, adjust seasonings to taste (I added a bit of salt).
• If stew is too thick, add a bit of water to thin to desired consistency.
• If stew is too thin, let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

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.
