Pressure Cooker Irish Stew Food

PRESSURE COOKER IRISH LAMB STEW

Steps:

• Put the sliced ingredients into the pot in layers. Start with a layer of half of the sliced onions, then a layer of half of the sliced potatoes, one sprig of thyme, and half of the lamb. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients; layer in the rest of the sliced onions, then the sliced potatoes, the other sprig of thyme, and the rest of the lamb. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Pour the beer over the layered ingredients in the pot. Set the pressure cooker pot over medium-high heat, but don't cover. (Use saute mode in an Instant Pot.) Bring the beer to a boil, and boil for 1 minute. (Listen for the boil - you won't be able to see it in the bottom of the pot.) Pour in the two cups of water.
• Sprinkle the chunked potatoes and carrots with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and the minced parsley. Put the potatoes and carrots in a vegetable steaming basket, and set the basket in the pressure cooker, directly on top of the layered ingredients.
• Lock the lid on the pressure cooker, bring the cooker up to high pressure over high heat, and then reduce the heat to maintain high pressure. Cook at high pressure for 18 minutes in an electric pressure cooker, or 15 minutes in a stovetop PC. Let the pressure come down naturally, about 20 minutes.
• Open the lid away from you to avoid the hot steam. Lift out the basket of potatoes and carrots and set it aside. Stir the stew, breaking up the potato slices to thicken the broth. Fish out the thyme sprigs and discard. Stir the basket of potatoes and carrots into the stew. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Serve by ladling out a bowl full of solids, then pour a few ladles of broth over the top.

PRESSURE COOKER GUINNESS BEEF STEW WITH HORSERADISH CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the beef and 2 tablespoons flour. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside.
• Using the sauté setting, heat the oil in the pot. Add the garlic, dried shiitakes (if using), tomato paste, brown sugar, cocoa, onion powder, caraway seeds and espresso powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fragrant and evenly combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1/3 cup flour and cook, stirring and scraping constantly, until the mixture forms a thick, dry paste, about 1 minute.
• Add the beer and broth and bring to a boil, whisking constantly to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let boil until noticeably thickened, about 1 minute. Add the beef and thyme and stir to combine. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 22 minutes.
• Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. (If you find that too much liquid is spurting out with the steam, close the knob to seal again, wait a minute, and then turn the knob to release the rest of the pressure.) Open and stir in the potatoes and root vegetables. Set steam valve to sealed position and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually.
• Open the lid. If the beef and vegetables are not tender, pressure cook on high for 3 more minutes and manually release the pressure. Add the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and lemon juice if necessary. (If the stew tastes flat, add more lemon juice first, then more salt and pepper; acid is key to making it taste lively. It may need a surprising amount of salt, especially if you have used unsalted or low-salt stock.)
• Discard the thyme sprigs and skim the fat from the top using a ladle or by passing a clean paper towel just over the surface of the stew. (If you would like the stew to be thicker, transfer the beef and vegetables with a slotted spoon to a bowl or plate. Using the sauté setting, let boil until it is the desired consistency. Add the beef and vegetables back into the pot.)
• Make the horseradish cream: Stir together the sour cream, horseradish and scallions in a small bowl. Season with salt. Serve stew in bowls with a spoonful of the horseradish cream.
