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.
