Pressure Cooker Burgundy Beef Stew
- 5 cups Beef Broth
- 1-1/2 pound Stew Beef, Cut Into Bite-size Pieces (1/2 Inch Cubes)
- 1/4 cups Flour Or Cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoons Herbes De Provence Or Oregano
- 1/4 teaspoons Coarse Ground Black Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 cup Burgundy
- 1 whole Onion, Coarsely Chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, Chopped Or Minced Or Crushed
- 1 whole Bay Leaf
- 4 whole Potatoes, Cut Into Bite-size Pieces
- 4 stalks Celery, Cut Into Bite-size Pieces
- 6 whole Large Carrots, Cut Into Bite-size Pieces
- 1 can (28 Oz) Diced Tomatoes, With Juice
- Start heating beef broth in a saucepan. Heat olive oil and butter in the pressure cooker.
- Combine cornstarch, pepper and herbs. Mix well. Dredge beef chunks in the cornstarch mixture. (I usually just throw everything in a baggie and give it a good shake to coat.) In the pressure cooker, brown the beef well on all sides, then remove and set aside.
- (At this point, I like to add the onions and garlic, saute until soft, then remove them. But you can just add them in with the beef later.)
- Deglaze the pressure cooker with 1 cup burgundy. Fun!
- Add 5 cups of beef broth, beef, onions, garlic and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then seal the pressure cooker shut and cook for 10 minutes for 1/2-inch cubes of beef.
- Remove from heat and use a spoon tucked under the bobbler to de-pressurize the cooker. When safe, carefully open the lid.
- Add the veggies and the canned tomatoes. Return to boil and cook under pressure for another 5 minutes.
- (If you have a 6-qt pressure cooker, like I do, you might have to do the veggies at the end in 2 steps. I poured half the beef and broth mixture into a big serving bowl, dumped half the veggies into the remaining beef and broth in the pressure cooker, and cooked this batch for 5 minutes. Then I did the second batch.)
