Martha Stewart'S Instant Pot Beef Stew With Dijon & Tomato
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 11/2-inch cubes
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 or 4 cups water
- 1 pound white mushrooms, trimmed and halved or quartered if large
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- Heat oil in 6- to 8-quart stovetop pressure cooker over medium-high, or in an electric pressure cooker set to saute. Pat beef dry and season with 11/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Working in batches, cook beef until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate.
- Add 1 cup water to pressure cooker, scraping up brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add 3 cups more water for stovetop, and 1 cup more water for electric. Add mushrooms, onions, carrot, celery, garlic, tomatoes (with their juices), mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Return beef to pressure cooker along with any accumulated juices.
- Stovetop: Secure lid. Bring to high pressure over medium-high heat; reduce heat to maintain pressure and cook for 60 minutes. Remove from heat, quickly release pressure, then remove lid.
- Electric: Secure lid. Manually set cooker to 60 minutes and let it come to pressure. Once time is complete, turn off, quickly release pressure, then remove lid.
- Skim any fat from surface. Top stew with basil, if using, and serve.
