Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound beef stew meat (chuck) cut into 2-inch cubes
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 can (14.5-ounce) reduced-sodium beef broth
7-8 whole allspice berries
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup Wondra flour or all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup milk
Mashed potatoes for serving

Steps:

  • Season beef generously with salt and pepper.
  • Select Sauté on the pressure cooker and add oil and butter to the pressure cooking pot. When butter is melted, brown the meat in batches for about 5 minutes per batch until all meat is browned on all sides. Do not crowd the pot. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the onion to the pot. Sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
  • Stir in a small amount of the beef broth to deglaze the pot. Be sure and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the remaining broth and return the beef and any juices to the pot.
  • Add the allspice and bay leaves. Lock the lid in place. Select High Pressure and 15 minutes cook time.
  • When the cook time ends, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before finishing with a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Remove and discard the bay leaves and allspice.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the flour and cold water until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of the hot broth to the flour mixture and stir to combine, then add the flour and broth mixture to the pressure cooking pot.
  • Select Sauté and bring the gravy to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened and there's no more raw flour taste. Stir in the milk. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes.
