KELLY'S PRESSURE COOKER BEEF STEW

My mother used to make beef stew in a pressure cooker at least once a week. I crave it all the time and have doctored up the flavor so it's no longer just 'meat and potatoes' tasting.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¼ pounds beef stew meat, cubed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 cups water
2 cubes beef bouillon
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried basil
4 potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 cups peeled baby carrots

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place flour in a resealable bag; drop in half the beef cubes and shake to coat. Shake off excess flour and add meat to pan. Repeat with remaining beef. Season meat with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir onion into beef and cook, stirring often, until the meat is browned on all sides and onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in sugar.
  • Combine water, beef bouillon, garlic, bay leaf, parsley, and basil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. When bouillon cubes are dissolved, fit the pressure cooker's rack in the cooker (if it has one). Layer potatoes, carrots, and meat mixture in the pressure cooker, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Seal the lid and bring the cooker up to full pressure.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, maintaining full pressure, and cook for 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Let the pressure drop naturally, about 15 minutes before releasing lid. Transfer the meat and vegetables to a serving bowl and pour pan juices over meat and vegetables.

KELLY'S SOUTHWESTERN BEEF STEW

Thick, rich and hearty beef stew that is anything BUT bland, if you know what I mean! It took me several years to perfect this recipe, and I'm proud to say that it was recently published in Taste of Home magazine! I'm a Midwest meat and potatoes kind of girl, and always liked beef stew, but it was always just "ok". Even people that say they don't care for spicy foods really liked it! Hope you try it! Enjoy!

2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons Butter Flavor Crisco
2 onions, diced large
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 large bay leaf
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can beef broth
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, can sub 1/4 tsp. cayenne powder
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, but we like it in there) (optional)
4 carrots, peeled and sliced thick
4 -5 medium red potatoes, unpeeled, cut lg. bite-sized
1 (11 ounce) can corn, drained
1 -2 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
1 -2 tablespoon cold water (optional)

Steps:

  • In large ziplock baggie or large mixing bowl, combine flour, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and salt.
  • Add meat and shake/toss til all is coated.
  • In large heavy-bottomed pot that has a lid, brown meat over med-high heat in the 4 tbsp Crisco.
  • Add next 8 ingredients, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring only occasionally, til meat is tender.
  • Add carrots and potatoes, recover and simmer another 25-30 minutes or til tender.
  • Add corn, heat through.
  • Remove bay leaf, or, leave it in there and whoever happens to get it has to do the dishes! ;).
  • *Can add or sub peas and/or green beans if desired. You can also add 1 rib of celery, sliced, at the same time you add the potatoes and carrots if desired.
  • **If you like it on the thick side like we do, just mix 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch with equal amount of cold water (I use 2 tbsp each), stir into pot while simmering to thicken even more. Simmer, stirring, for several minutes. Do this at the very end. Stir gently so you don't wreck the green beans if added.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Look for ripe vegetables and herbs, and avoid using processed or pre-packaged foods.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: Feel free to add your own personal touch to the recipes. Try different herbs and spices, or add different vegetables to the stew. You can also adjust the amount of liquid to make the stew thicker or thinner.
  • Cook the stew low and slow: This will help to develop the flavors and make the meat tender. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have the time.
  • Serve the stew hot: A hot bowl of stew is the perfect comfort food on a cold day. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or cornbread to soak up all of the delicious broth.
