A really rich hearty French beef stew that's so easy to make at home in your pressure cooker! Adapted from Noshtastic.
Start by cooking the bacon in a little olive oil in the inner pot by turning on the saute function on your electric pressure cooker, and adjust it to the medium heat option.
Don't wait for the display to say 'hot', add oil right away and brown the meat on both sides then turn off the saute function.
When the bacon is cooked remove it and set aside.
Then, brown the beef pieces and add a little more oil if you need to.
Add the cooked bacon, carrots, onions, bay leaves, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper to the pot with the meat and pour over the red wine and gluten free beef stock. You can use this one for Paleo
Lock the lid, turn the steam release vent to 'sealing' and using the manual setting, adjust it to cook for 12 minutes at High Pressure.
When the cook time time is up, allow the unit to reduce pressure on its own without opening the steam release vent (Natural Release) for at least 10 minutes.
Mix 2 Tbsp cornstarch, or arrowroot or tapioca starch for paleo, with about 1-2 Tbsp cold beef broth and add to the pot and mix well, now add the mushrooms.
Turn on the saute function to allow the sauce to thicken and the mushrooms to cook, this will take only a few minutes. If it's not thick enough for you, simply add more cornstarch as before.
mix in the chopped parsley just before serving.
