Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 150 g (5 oz) bacon lardons
- 150 g (5 oz) finely chopped shallots
- 1.2 kg (2 ½ lbs) braising steak (chuck steak) cubed
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ ts[ ground pepper
- 200 g (7 oz) button mushrooms, sliced
- 200 g (7 oz) wild mushrooms, sliced or use more button mushrooms
- 2 carrots peeled and sliced
- 2 tbsp concentrated tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- bouquet garni see notes
- 320 ml (1 ⅓ cups) Guinness or other dark stout
- 1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch) or arrowroot
- Handful chopped fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Season the beef with the salt and pepper and set aside.
- Turn the pressure cooker on and select ‘sauté’ function.
- Heat the oil and butter and add the bacon. Cook for a couple of minutes until the bacon is sizzling.
- Add the beef, in batches, and cook until browned on all sides. This might be easier done in a casserole or skillet on your stovetop.
- Add the chopped shallots and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Stir in the mushrooms and carrots.
- Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire and soy sauce.
- Pour in the Guinness, add the bouquet garni and give everything a good stir.
- Cover, set vent to sealing and cook for 35 minutes at high pressure.
- Let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes then manually release.
- Stir the cornflour (cornstarch) or arrowroot with 1 tbsp cold water to make a slurry.
- Select the ‘sauté’ function again and stir in the slurry. Let the stew bubble away for about 5 minutes, until thickened.
- Discard your herb bundle, taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve over mashed potatoes and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- I used a 6L/Q Instant Pot Duo for this recipe.
- To make the bouquet garni, tie up a bundle of parsley, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves using a celery stalk or a bit of leek as your anchor. Discard this before serving.
- To make the stew on the stovetop – use 1 litre (1 quart) of Guinness or half Guinness and half chicken broth. Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Brown the bacon in a large casserole dish. Add the beef and cook until seared on all sides. Pour a little Guinness to deglaze the pan and scrape any browned bits. Transfer the beef and bacon into a bowl. Add a little more olive oil to the pan and cook the shallots, mushrooms and carrots for a 5 minutes. Return the beef to the casserole and stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire and soy sauce. Pour in the Guinness, add the bouquet garni and give everything a good stir. Cover and cook in the oven for 2 hours.
