INSTANT POT BEEF AND MUSHROOM STEW

Steps:

• Place cubed beef in a large bowl. Sprinkle flour over top, gently toss to combine until flour coats all the pieces.
• Add the ghee to the Instant Pot on sauté mode.
• Once hot, add beef to the pot and brown on all sides. You'll likely need to do this in 2 or 3 batches to fit all the beef. Once browned, transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add 1/4 cup of the beef broth to the pot and use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up all the brown bits from the meat.
• Add the pearl onions and cook, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes until softened.
• Turn off sauté mode and add the remaining ingredients except the arrowroot powder and water.
• Stir to combine then place the lid on the Instant Pot. Set the dial to sealing and cook on manual for 30 minutes.
• Let the Instant Pot naturally release pressure for 15 minutes then manually release the rest.
• If thickening, mix the arrowroot powder and water in a small bowl. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté and stir in the mixture until bubbling and slightly thickened.
• Serve hot, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or other herbs.

Steps:

• Cut roast into pieces that will fit the inner pot and pat dry with paper towels. Season one side with salt and pepper.

Pour in red wine and use a wooden spoon to stir all the browned bits off of the bottom of the pot, and cook for about 2 minutes. Turn off Saute function.
