Step 2: Brown the beef on all sides for color and extra flavor. Use the “Saute” function in the pressure cooker or a heavy pan on the stove if your appliance lacks this feature.
Step 3: Lightly brown the vegetables (onions, carrots, celery) to intensify the dish’s flavor, then remove them before proceeding.
Step 4: Deglaze the pot by adding liquid and scraping the browned bits from the bottom. Return the beef, vegetables, and aromatics to the pressure cooker.
Step 5: Pressure cook until the beef reaches the desired tenderness. The cooking time depends on the meat’s size; typically, allocate 20 minutes of cook time for each pound of meat.
Step 6: Naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes before using the quick-release button. Ensure you follow your pressure cooker’s user manual for safety.
