Classic Beef Stew

Makes 8 cups (2 L)

3  

pounds (1.5 kg) beef chuck roast,  

 

cut into 1½-to 2-inch (2.8-5 cm) 

 

pieces

 

kosher salt

 

fresh ground pepper

teaspoons (10 ml) olive oil

medium onion, finely chopped

medium carrot, finely chopped

celery stalk, finely chopped

garlic cloves, finely chopped

cup (250 ml) dry red wine

tablespoons (30 ml) tomato paste

bay leaf

¾ 

cup (175 ml) beef broth

cups (500 ml) baby-cut carrots

tablespoon (15 ml) unsalted 

 

butter, softened

tablespoon (15 ml) unbleached  

 

all-purpose flour

cup (250 ml) frozen peas

Season pieces of chuck roast with salt 

and pepper and reserve. Place the olive 

oil in the cooking pot of the Cuisinart

 

Pressure Cooker. Select Browning. When 

oil begins to sizzle, add pieces of chuck 

in a single layer – do not crowd. Continue 

browning meat in batches until all meat 

is browned. As meat is browned transfer 

to a plate. Select Sauté. Stir the chopped 

onions into the pot. With a wooden 

spoon scrape any brown bits from the 

bottom of the pan that have accumulated 

while meat was browning. Sauté for 1 

to 2 minutes, until onions start to soften 

and are translucent. Stir in the carrots 

and celery. Sauté vegetables for about 

3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 

the chopped garlic and sauté for an 

additional minute.

Once vegetables are soft, stir in red wine, 

again scraping any brown bits that have 

accumulated on the bottom of the pot. 

Cook until red wine has reduced by half, 

then stir in the tomato paste. 

Add the reserved beef, bay leaf, and beef 

broth to the pot. Select High Pressure. 

Set timer for 10 minutes. When audible 

beep sounds use Quick Pressure Release 

to release pressure. When float valve 

drops, remove lid carefully, tilting away 

from you to allow steam to disperse. 

Add carrots to the pot and select High 

Pressure. Set timer for 6 minutes. 

When audible beep sounds use Natural 

Pressure Release to release pressure. 

When float valve drops, remove lid 

carefully, tilting away from you to allow 

steam to disperse.

To thicken stew, strain the solids from the 

stew liquid, reserving both. Remove and 

discard bay leaf. Blend softened butter 

and flour to make a paste (buerre manié). 

Return liquid to pot and bring to a boil by 

selecting Brown. Once liquid comes to 

a bowl whisk in the butter/flour mixture. 

Select Simmer. Once liquid thickens, stir 

the meat and carrots back into the pot. 

Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and 

pepper accordingly. Just before serving, 

stir in peas.
