Pressure Cooker Stew Beef and Potatoes image

I love my pressure cooker, especially when I'm in a crunch for time. I make a lot of things with my cooker, but this is one of my favorites. I just love the way the flavors from the beef and vegetables intermingle. You can also use a beef roast instead of the stew beef and it is wonderful, too! Y'all enjoy!

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 to 2 lb stew beef
4 to 6 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 large onions, peeled and quartered
3 medium carrots (optional)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a 6-quart pressure cooker, add stew beef and salt to taste. Cover with water. Lock down lid to pressure cooker and place rocker on top. Turn heat to high until rocker begins to rock. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle rocking action and set stove timer to 35 minutes.
  • 2. While meat is cooking, peel and quarter potatoes and onion. Peel and slice carrots and set aside. When timer goes off, remove pressure cooker from heat. Carefully run a small stream of water over the side, being extremely careful not to allow the water to touch the rubber saftey release valve.
  • 3. When pressure is fully released, remove lid from pressure cooker. Add vegetables and more salt, if desired and lock down lid. Replace rocker and return to high heat until rocker begins to rock. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle rocking action and set stove timer for 12 minutes.
  • 4. When timer goes off, repeat cooling process as instructed in step #2. When pressure is fully released, remove lid and serve. You may transfer to serving platter, if desired, but you will need to remove meat and vegetables from liquid. Enjoy with rolls, biscuits or your favorite side dishes.
  • 5. SAFEFY TIPS: NEVER fill pressure cooker more than 2/3 full! Always check your valves to make sure that they are clear. NEVER try to remove lid until ALL of the pressure is released. In Presto model, the safety release valve will fall down to resting position when all pressure has been released.

This stew is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of stews, but this one is really good. The beef is tender and juicy, and the gravy is rich and flavorful.

This stew is also great for freezing. I like to make a big batch and then freeze it in individual portions.

I added some fresh thyme and rosemary to the stew, and it gave it a really nice flavor.

I was a bit skeptical about making stew in a pressure cooker, but I'm so glad I tried it. The beef was cooked to perfection in just 30 minutes!

I've made this stew twice now, and it's been a hit both times. It's so easy to make, and it's always delicious.

This stew is amazing! The beef is so tender and flavorful, and the potatoes and carrots are cooked perfectly. I love the rich, savory gravy that coats everything.
