Ingredients
Scale
1 kg beef cuts
1 tablespoon (15ml)olive oil
2 medium-sized yellow onions sliced or diced roughly
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 – 4 medium-sized potatoes, quartered
2 medium-sized carrots, cut into chunks
100g green beans, cleaned and cut into 3-inch pieces
Beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsps Italian Seasoning
1/2 cups tomato paste
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown them on all sides.
- Add the diced yellow onion and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Pour in four cups of beef broth, along with a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste. Add the Italian seasoning or any other herbs and spices you prefer for additional flavor.
- Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set it to high pressure. Cook the stew for about 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your beef pieces. After the cooking time is up, do a quick release from the pressure cooker.
- Add the potatoes, green beans, and carrots to the pressure cooker, making sure they are evenly distributed. Give everything a good stir to combine the flavors and ensure the vegetables are coated with the broth and seasoning.
- Return to pressure cooking for another 10 minutes to cook the vegetables. Alternatively, cook the vegetables in the same pot with the already-cooked beef, over medium-high heat for another 20 minutes.
- Add the cornstarch slurry, if using. Stir for another minute.
- Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
