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.

PRESSURE COOKER BEEF STEW WITH MAPLE AND STOUT
This savory-sweet stew is delightfully hands-off - no sautéing, searing or simmering. The key is the timing: Cook the beef first and add the vegetables later to ensure that the meat tenderizes while the vegetables retain some bite. Real maple syrup gives the dish a sweetness that pairs well with the mild bitterness of stout beer. Carrots, potatoes and parsnips are classic stew vegetables, but rutabaga or celery root work well, too. A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the flavors of this cold-weather dish.

Steps:
- Add the beef to a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker, season it generously with salt and pepper and toss it with the flour until evenly coated. Add the herb sprigs, the broth, beer, syrup, garlic, red-pepper flakes, onion and garlic powders and 1 tablespoon vinegar; stir to combine. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
- Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. (If hot liquid spurts out with the steam, close the knob and wait a few more minutes, then release again.) Stir in the carrots, parsnips and potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 18 minutes.
- Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. (If hot liquid spurts out with the steam, close the knob and wait a few more minutes, then release again.) Remove and discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs.
- Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar. Season to taste with more salt and pepper, as needed. Add the lemon juice. If the vegetables are not tender, or if the broth is not as thick as you would like, using the sauté setting, simmer for a few minutes. (You can also stir to encourage the potatoes to fall apart a little, which will help thicken the broth.) Divide among shallow bowls.

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.

Steps:
- Cut the chuck roast into 1 1/2-inch cubes, removing any large, tough pieces of fat or gristle.
- Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTE. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering (a drop of water should sizzle if added to the surface of the pot), add half of the beef, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. The cubes should be in a single layer and not too crowded so that they brown nicely. Let the cubes of beef cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes (resist the urge to peek!), until the bottom of the cubes develop a dark-brown crust and come away from the pan easily. Turn and continue searing until dark and brown all over, about 4 additional minutes. Transfer the seared meat to a clean plate or bowl. Add another 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot. Once hot, add the remaining beef and remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sear the remaining beef. If the pan gets too dry, add a bit more oil as needed.
- While the meat browns, dice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic. Peel the carrots and cut them into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices.
- Remove the second batch of browned beef to the plate with the first batch. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and the onion to the Instant Pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften and browns, about 6 minutes.
- While the onion cooks, scrub and peel the potato and cut it into 3/4-inch chunks. If you haven't finished cutting the carrots, do so now.
- Add the garlic to the Instant Pot. Cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beef broth and use a spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Make sure you remove every last bit of stuck-on food so that you don't receive a "burn" warning.
- Stir in the carrots, potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme, and the browned beef, along with any meat juices that have collected on the plate. Pour the tomato sauce on top. Do not stir again.
- Close and seal the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Vent to release any remaining pressure, then carefully open the lid. Remove and discard the bay leaf.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add to the Instant Pot and stir until the stew thickens. Add the peas and stir to warm through. Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley.

Tips:
- Use a good quality beef stew meat: Chuck roast, shoulder roast, or brisket are all good choices. Trim excess fat and cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.
- Brown the beef before cooking: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions are all classic stew vegetables, but you can also add other vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
- Season the stew well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
- Cook the stew on low pressure for at least 2 hours: This will allow the meat to become tender and the vegetables to soften.
- Thicken the stew with a cornstarch slurry: If you want a thicker stew, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water and stir it into the stew. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the stew has thickened.
Conclusion:
Beef stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, especially if you use a pressure cooker. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and hearty beef stew on the table in no time.
