Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 1 lb baby potatoes
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons green peas
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Cut the beef into 2-inch cubes, and place them in a large bowl. Season with flour and onion powder.
  • Turn on the Sauté function on the Instant Pot, and add 1 tablespoon oil. Once hot, add enough beef to reach 3/4 full in one layer. (cook in batches if needed.)
  • Brown the meat on all sides for 3-5 minutes total, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a plate and reserve.
  • Repeat the previous step using the remaining oil.
  • Add all the sautéed beef to the instant pot and then add all the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
  • Cover the Instant Pot and close the steam valve. Set to Manual High Pressure to cook for 40 minutes.
  • When the cycle is complete, allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally (about 10 minutes depending on the model).
  • Remove the lid and stir in peas and parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
