Helpful Kitchen Supplies

  • Kitchen Scale- A kitchen scale is a must to have for so many recipes in order to have accurate measurements. This is something that is often overlooked in recipes.
  • Meat Thermometer- Having a meat thermometer is essential. I have gone through so many 'inexpensive' thermometers that I finally invested in a heavy duty digital thermometer from BBQ guys. It was so worth it!
  •  Instant Pot Inner Pot - I like to have an extra inner pot available because of how much cooking I do in my Instant Pot. It comes in handy when I want to put a lid on the inner pot and refrigerate the leftovers, or mix up ingredients the night before to save time at the end of the day.
  • Silicone Lid for Instant Pot- I'm not sure how I lived without this one. Having a silicone lid for my Instant Pot has made life so much easier. It is perfect for adding ingredients a day or two ahead of time.

Storage

If you happen to have leftovers, simply store in the proper container in your fridge for up to three days. Then when you want to reheat just warm in the microwave, on the stove, or even in the Instant Pot.

You are welcome to freeze leftovers as well. The texture of the vegetables will be a bit softer once frozen, but delicious as can be. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

Expert Tips and Variations

Here are some helpful tips and tricks when making this beef pressure cooker recipe.

  • Aim to cut the meat in similar size, so it cooks evenly and works at eating. Sometimes larger pieces of meat make it hard, that you have to stop and cut the meat.
  • You can use chicken or beef broth to replace of the wine if you don't have wine on hand. It will change the flavor a bit, but overall it will taste similar.
  • Feel free to serve with mashed potatoes or even noodles if you would like.
  • If you want to thicken up the sauce, add cornstarch and water to the mixture once it is done cooking, to help the sauce thicken.
  • You can use stew meat for this recipe.
  • The quality of the beef will affect the flavor and texture of this dish. Quality meat will provide a softer texture and richer flavor.
