Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, quartered
- 1 cup dry red wine (such as Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Turn your Instant Pot to the Sauté function. Add olive oil.
- Season beef cubes with salt and pepper. Sear beef in batches until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes per batch). Remove beef and set aside.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery to the Instant Pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in red wine and deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf.
- Return the seared beef to the pot.
- Close and lock the lid. Set the Instant Pot to Manual/Pressure Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes.
- Allow for a natural pressure release for 15 minutes, then release any remaining pressure manually.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour and cold water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew.
- Turn on the Sauté function and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove the bay leaf. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a good quality dry red wine.
- If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can adapt this recipe for a slow cooker. Sear the beef and sauté the vegetables as directed, then transfer everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
