Nick’s Instant Pot Beef Stew

I use my pressure cooker a few times a week. It gives you that slow cooked meal flavor with dump everything in and ignore effort.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 6 strips bacon
• 3 lbs beef chuck or stewing beef
• 6 cloves garlic
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 cups red wine, Merlot or Pinot Noir
• handful of baby carrots
• 1 large onion
• 3 cups beef stock
• 1 small can tomato paste
• 1 package baby bella mushrooms

Instructions

1. Brown the beef in a pan. It doesn’t have to cook all the way, just enoguh to give it some of that browned flavor.
2. Cook the bacon in a pan, draining the fat. Chop into 1/2 inch chunks.
3. Chop the garlic, carrots, onion, and mushrooms.
4. Add all ingrdients to the Instant Pot, and run using the Meat / Stew setting.

Mashed or broiled potatoes make a great side.

Enjoy!
