Cooking Instructions

90 mins
  1. 1

    Slice the beef into 3 steaks. Season beef all over with salt and pepper (can be done the night before and left in ziplock bag).

  2. 2

    Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in the InstaPot and brown the beef, turning occasionally (until beef is well browned on 2 sides, about 10 minutes). Transfer beef to a rimmed cutting board (or large plate) and set aside.

  3. 3

    While the beef browns, blend 3 cups chicken stock, 4 packets powdered unflavored gelatin (1 ounce; 30g), 3 Tbsp tomato paste, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp fish sauce, and 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce on high speed.

  4. 4

    Once the three beef steaks are out and on the cutting board, pour 1 cup of red wine to the InstaPot and scrape up the beef bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Reduce by three-quarters, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat.

  5. 5

    Cut seared steaks into 1.5 – 2 inch chunks and transfer to a large bowl and toss with 2 Tbsp flour.

  6. 6

    Add the cut and floured beef. Add the chicken stock blend. Add 2 bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Stir to combine, seal pressure cooker, and bring to high pressure. Cook for 30 minutes (rapidly release pressure and open cooker).

  7. 7

    While the beef downs in the InstaPot, halve the 1 lbs baby Yukon Gold potatoes, chop the carrots and celery. Dice 1 Large yellow onion & 3 garlic cloves (can do the night before, about 15 mins).

  8. 8

    Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a steal pan. Start with the 10 ounces (280 g) mushrooms in a pan; stirring, until liquid is released and mushrooms begin to brown, about 6 minutes, lowering heat as necessary. Move to a heat safe large bowl.

  9. 9

    Add the onion, pearl onions, stirring and browning. Then add the carrots and celery and cook a few minutes longer. Then add the garlic to cook for 1-2 mins. Move to the same large bowl with the mushrooms, salt and pepper to taste.

  10. 10

    Now the beef's 30 mins of pressure cooking is done; add all those sauted veggies and add the potatoes. Reseal the cooker, bring to high pressure, and cook 15 minutes longer. (Rapidly release pressure and open).

  11. 11

    Optional: Stir in 4 ounces (100 g) peas to warm them. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
