Steps:
- Cut the chuck roast into 1 1/2-inch cubes, removing any large, tough pieces of fat or gristle.
- Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTE. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering (a drop of water should sizzle if added to the surface of the pot), add half of the beef, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. The cubes should be in a single layer and not too crowded so that they brown nicely. Let the cubes of beef cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes (resist the urge to peek!), until the bottom of the cubes develop a dark-brown crust and come away from the pan easily. Turn and continue searing until dark and brown all over, about 4 additional minutes. Transfer the seared meat to a clean plate or bowl. Add another 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot. Once hot, add the remaining beef and remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sear the remaining beef. If the pan gets too dry, add a bit more oil as needed.
- While the meat browns, dice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic. Peel the carrots and cut them into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices.
- Remove the second batch of browned beef to the plate with the first batch. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and the onion to the Instant Pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften and browns, about 6 minutes.
- While the onion cooks, scrub and peel the potato and cut it into 3/4-inch chunks. If you haven't finished cutting the carrots, do so now.
- Add the garlic to the Instant Pot. Cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beef broth and use a spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Make sure you remove every last bit of stuck-on food so that you don't receive a "burn" warning.
- Stir in the carrots, potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme, and the browned beef, along with any meat juices that have collected on the plate. Pour the tomato sauce on top. Do not stir again.
- Close and seal the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Vent to release any remaining pressure, then carefully open the lid. Remove and discard the bay leaf.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add to the Instant Pot and stir until the stew thickens. Add the peas and stir to warm through. Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley.

INSTANT POT BEEF/BISON STEW
Steps:
- Saute Meat. Heat Pan, add oil, do not crowd meat, probably need three batches, adding oil as needed. Bison and lean beef will need more.. Brown well.
- While meat is cooking, dice onions, slice carrots and celery, peel and cut up potatoes. Set aside individually.
- Once the meat is done, saute onions until soft. Salt onions a bit to make them sweat. You can also add the carrots and celery if you want.
- Add garlic for the last 30 seconds (do not burn)
- If the bottom of the pan is too brown burned, scoop out onions and garlic on top of the meat and wash pan. Once clean and try, put back on the heat, heat up and add oil. Then add some of the meat and onion to cook just a bit.
- Deglaze pan with wine, scraping up the small bits. Make sure it is clean so it doesn't give you a burn warning. Cook for a couple minutes
- Add broth (or water plus bullion), Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste. Mix well. Add meat, onion, celery, carrots, thyme, bay leaf, chervil, pepper. Give it a single stir. Optional, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Potatoes. You can add the potatoes now. Or if you don't like them mushy cook it for 15 minutes, instant release, add potatoes cook another 20 minutes, didn't try this. You could do this will all the veges.
- Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes, then natural pressure release for 10 minutes. Then Vent.
- Discard bay leaves. Take a cup or two out of the broth and add wondra flour. How much depends on how watery the broth is, how cooked the potatoes are, etc. I would guess 1 - 2 tablespoons Wondra. Mix in with the broth really well, and then add to stew. Cook on saute until it is the desired thickness.

Steps:
- On a cutting board, pat the cubed chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all over with the salt and pepper.
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the beef, working in batches to avoid overcrowding, and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the browned beef to a plate to rest.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the onion to the Instant Pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, 1 minute.
- Add the tomato paste and thyme and stir to combine, about 1 minute. Add the Worcestershire sauce and ½ cup of beef broth and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, seared beef, and remaining 2 cups of beef broth to the pot and secure the lid. Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. When the timer is up, let the Instant Pot naturally release for 10 minutes. If there is any remaining pressure, switch the valve to quick release.
- Remove the lid from the Instant Pot and set to sauté.
- In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch and water together until the cornstarch is dissolved.
- Add the cornstarch slurry and peas to the Instant Pot and stir to combine. Cook until the broth thickens, about 1 minute.
