Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 lbs beef chuck
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cups baby carrots
- 1 lb baby potatoes
- 2 cups dry red wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- salt and pepper
- 8 oz mushrooms
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Start by turning the Instant Pot to the sauté setting and adding the bacon to the pot. Cook the bacon until it is crispy. Remove and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Set aside. Drain most of the grease into a heat-safe container. Return the pot to the Instant Pot.
- In the same pot, working in batches - sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides. Remove and set on the same plate with the bacon.
- Leaving the grease in the pot, sauté the onions and garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the red wine and deglaze the pot while the wine simmers. (you can do this by scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden cooking utensil)
- Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then add back the beef and bacon as well as the prepared carrots and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover and lock the lid to the sealing position. Cook on manual high for 35 minutes. Allow a natural release for 10 minutes before doing a quick release of the remaining pressure.
- In a small saucepan, cook the mushrooms over medium heat with 1-2 tbsp of olive oil until softened. Add to the pot and stir.
