Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb chuck steak
2 medium onions
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon marmite (or 1 T. Worcestershire Sauce)
1/4 pint stock
1 pint crushed tomatoes
4 large potatoes
2 large carrots
3 sticks celery
1 cup frozen peas or 1 cup frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup red lentil
about 1-2 cups vegetables (see below)
leek
rutabaga
parsnip
green pepper
green beans

Steps:

  • Use a pressure cooker. Seal the meat in a small amount of oil, add onions, garlic, bay leaf marmite and stock. Bring to pressure then turn off the heat and leave the pressure cooker on the stove and allow to come to normal pressure so that you can remove the lid. Do not remove the pressure manually.
  • Add the tomatoes, potatoes and other vegetables except the peas, stir well then pour the lentils over the top. Do NOT stir the lentils in at this point or they will burn onto the bottom of the pressure cooker. You have been warned!
  • Pressurize the cooker again, and again allow to come to normal pressure.
  • Test to check that the vegetables are cooked; if not, re-pressurize.
  • Add frozen vegetables and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Stir well and re-heat.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover beef. It's also a great freezer meal. I usually make a big batch and then freeze it in individual portions.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but I really enjoyed this stew. The beef was so tender and the lentils added a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.
