Directions

  1. Pat the stew beef dry with paper towels and toss it in a bowl with the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Set your pressure cooker to the 'Sauté' function and heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring you don't crowd the pot, until seared on all sides; transfer the browned beef to a plate.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  5. Return the beef to the pot and stir in the tomato juice, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Secure the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on High Pressure for 15 minutes.
  7. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.
  8. Open the lid and stir in the carrots, potatoes, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and water.
  9. Secure the lid again and cook on High Pressure for an additional 15 minutes.
  10. Perform a quick release for the remaining pressure and open the lid.
  11. If the sauce is too thin, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water) and simmer on 'Sauté' for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  12. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed, then serve hot.
