Pressure Cooker Beef Stew

• portions: 8 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 45 minutes

Ingrédients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 pounds cubed beef stew meat

1 small onion, diced

2 cups water, or more as needed

5 carrots, peeled and diced

2 cubes beef bouillon

8 medium baking potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 teaspoons salt, or to taste

Instructions

Heat oil in the bottom of a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. (If the cooker has an insert, remove it, and cook directly in the bottom of the pot.) Add beef and onion; cook until beef is browned on the outside.

Stir in 2 cups water, carrots, and bouillon cubes. Close the lid and secure the pressure regulator. Heat until mixture sizzles, then reduce heat to medium and set the timer for 20 minutes. If you have an adjustable pressure regulator, set it for 10 pounds of pressure.

Meanwhile, place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

Let pressure release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions, 5 to 10 minutes. (Mine must sit under cold running water for 5 minutes until the lid can be released.)

Remove the lid and place the pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Stir cornstarch into a small amount of cold water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir slurry into stew; cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add potatoes to stew or place in serving dishes and ladle stew over them.
