A rich and flavorful beef stew made effortlessly in a pressure cooker, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat the pressure cooker over medium-high heat.
Preheating ensures even cooking and better searing of the meat.
Coat the beef pieces with olive oil evenly.
Use your hands or a spoon to ensure all pieces are coated.
Sear half of the beef in the pressure cooker until browned on all sides, then remove and repeat with the other half.
Searing locks in the juices and enhances the flavor.
Deglaze the pot with beer, scraping up any browned bits.
The browned bits add a rich depth to the stew.
Return the beef to the pot and add the vegetables, broth, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Ensure the liquid covers the ingredients; add more broth if needed.
Seal the pressure cooker and cook at high pressure for 20 minutes.
Follow your pressure cooker's instructions for sealing and timing.
Release the pressure safely, open the lid, and stir in the parsley.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
