Directions
- Season beef all over with salt and ground black pepper.
- Heat oil in inner pot of pressure cooker set to Saute on High. Working in batches, cook beef in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a bowl.
- Saute mushrooms in inner pot of pressure cooker until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl.
- Return beef to pot with beer, 1/2 the onion, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, mustard, bay leaf, and thyme.
- Lock pressure cooker lid in place and set steam vent handle to Sealing. Select Pressure Cook (Manual) and cook on High pressure for 30 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then turn steam vent handle to Venting to quick-release remaining pressure.
- Remove and discard bay leaf from beef mixture. Stir potatoes, remaining onion, carrots, and celery into beef.
- Lock pressure cooker lid in place again and set steam vent handle to Sealing. Select Pressure Cook (Manual) and cook on High pressure for 3 minutes. Turn steam vent handle to Venting to quick-release remaining pressure.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer beef and vegetables to a bowl. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a bowl until slurry is smooth.
- Set pressure cooker to Saute on Normal and whisk slurry into broth, stirring until broth thickens. Stir beef, vegetables, mushrooms, and peas into liquid and stir until stew is well-combined.
Mealthy Tip: Add in some eye of round beef with the bottom round to mix things up a bit, but make sure to use Guinness beer, as that's the key to Guinness beef stew!
