Easy Beef Stew with Store-Bought Roux Using a Pressure Cooker

Photo updated in December 2020! You can make tender beef stew in a short time using a pressure cooker. The meat is so tender it can be cut with chopsticks!
The origin of this recipe: I wanted to make a beef stew with large chunks of meat like you get at a restaurant. By adding the vegetables partway through and repressurizing, the meat and vegetables finish cooking at the same time! Add the mushrooms and broccoli at the end to keep their texture!
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Lightly season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a pressure cooker and sear both sides of the beef over high heat. Once browned, add the red wine.
- 2
Boil for 2-3 minutes, then add water and turn off the heat. Skim off any scum with a ladle. Close the pressure cooker lid and bring to pressure over high heat.
- 3
Once steam starts to escape and pressure builds, reduce to low heat and cook for 4-5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Allow to cool naturally.
- 4
Prepare the vegetables. Quarter the onions, peel and quarter the potatoes, and cut the carrot into 2 cm (about 3/4 inch) pieces.
- 5
Once the pressure cooker has cooled, open the lid and add the vegetables and bay leaf. Repressurize the cooker over high heat, then cook on low pressure for another 4-5 minutes.
- 6
After repressurizing, allow to cool naturally, then open the lid and remove the bay leaf. Skim off any scum and oil with a ladle.
- 7
Add the mushrooms to step 6 and mix in the ingredients marked with ■ to dissolve. Separate the broccoli into florets and microwave until tender.
- 8
If the acidity of the red wine is too strong, adjust the taste by adding a little sugar to your liking.
- 9
Serve on plates, top with broccoli, and drizzle with heavy cream if available.
