Emeril Beef Stew Pressure Cooker Recipes

EMERIL'S BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Set a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the pot and season the beef with the salt, Essence and black pepper, being sure to toss the meat well to evenly cover with the spices. Add 1/3 of the beef to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, 2 or 3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil to the pot along with half of the remaining meat and cook again until browned. Set aside and repeat with the remaining tablespoon of oil and remaining beef. Set aside.
• Add the butter and mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, carrots and celery and saute until onions are softened and lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add the stock, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, allspice and browned beef and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, partially cover the pot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Add the potatoes to the stew and partially cover the pot with a lid. Continue cooking until the potatoes are very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the lid and discard the thyme and rosemary stems. Add the peas and parsley to the stew, stir well to combine, then remove from the heat. Serve hot, with either steamed white rice or buttered egg noodles.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

PRESSURE COOKER BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Have on hand the following accessories: 1 large platter, 2 dinner plates, 1 cereal bowl, 1 piece paper toweling.
• The list of 8 spices at the end of the recipe make up the Emeril's Essence. These should be mixed together thoroughly before being added to the flour. For a larger portion of Essence that can be stored, multiply all amounts by 4 and just add 1 tablespoon of Essence to the flour.
• Chop up carrots, celery and onion. Set aside. (This can be done the night before and all vegetables placed together in a baggie in the refrigerator.).
• In cereal bowl, combine flour and Emeril's Essence. (Emeril's Essence can be made up anytime in advance and stored.).
• Cube meat into approximately 1 1/2" chunks on large platter, trimming away excess fat as necessary. (Do not cube in advance or meat will be too bloody and not dry enough.).
• Dredge each piece of meat thoroughly in flour mixture and return to platter.
• Place pressure cooker on cooktop and apply medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• When olive oil is hot, add approximately 1/2 of the meat cubes in order to saute. (Don't crowd meat. It will take 2-2 1/2 batches to cook meat.) Cook meat until well browned on outside, but still pink on inside--about 3-4 minutes per batch.
• When first batch of meat is cooked, transfer to dinner plate, wipe edges of pressure cooker with paper towel, add some more olive oil and place second batch of meat in pressure cooker to saute. Repeat procedure until all meat cubes are browned.
• Reduce heat under pressure cooker to medium-low. Add balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup stock. Deglaze pan.
• Add carrots, celery, onion and garlic to pressure cooker. Add salt and pepper. Mix well and cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes.
• Remove all but 1/2 cup vegetables from pressure cooker and set aside on second dinner plate. Wipe down edges of pressure cooker.
• Add to pressure cooker: reserved meat, bay leaves, red wine, and remaining beef stock. Mix well.
• Place lid on pressure cooker. Heat on high until pressure cooker is up to full pressure. Reduce heat to simmer and cook at high pressure for 20 minutes.
• While meat is cooking, take a red potato, slice in half the long way, then slice each half the long way one more time. Make three cross-cuts on each potato "submarine" and keep pieces together in submarine shape on cutting board. Repeat process for second potato. (This method prevents the potato flesh from turning brown while you're waiting to add the potatoes to the stew.).
• When meat has been cooked 20 minutes, remove pressure cooker from cooktop and release pressure using the cold water method. Open lid and add remaining vegetables which have been set aside. Also add potato chunks. Mix well.
• Replace lid on pressure cooker. Place pressure cooker on cooktop over high heat. Bring pressure up to high, reduce heat to simmer, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. At the end of 10 minutes, release pressure using the cold water method again.
• Remove lid from pressure cooker and enjoy stew.
