Cooking Equipment
- A Comfee pressure cooker. It is basically 9 kitchen appliances into one and is not just a pressure cooker. In fact, you can even make yogurt, cake, eggs, and rice with it. Furthermore, you can even use it as a slow cooker, sauté pan, food warmer, and steamer.
- A small bowl
- A spoon
Directions
- First, pour some olive oil into the Comfee pressure cooker and place it in sauté mode. Once the oil starts sizzling, put in your meat and all your seasonings.
- Keep cooking the meat until it starts to brown on each side.
- Next, pour your beef broth into your instant spot. Using a spoon, start scraping the brown bits found at the base of your instant pot.
- You can now add your garlic, onion, carrots, potatoes, worcestershire sauce, and crushed tomatoes.
- Afterward, put the lid and steam valve back into your pressure cooker. Place your pressure cooker on high pressure for about thirty-five minutes.
- After cooking your beef stew on high pressure for thirty-five minutes, let its pressure out on its own for ten minutes. After that, you can now carry out a quick release.
- Finally, you can add your cornstarch slurry into your beef stew. Do this by mixing corn starch in a bowl filled with cold water.
Voila! There you have it. You now have a delicious beef stew made with little to no hassle.
