BEEF BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• Heat the oil over a medium heat in your pressure cooker and brown the beef in batches. Removing from the pan as they are coloured.
• After you've browned the beef and the pan is empty (apart from the beef bits stuck to the pan - keep these!) pop in the bacon pieces and fry on a high heat until starting to go brown and crispy.
• Add in the garlic, onions, carrots and mushrooms and fry for a couple of minutes until just starting to colour.
• Put the browned beef back into the pan, along with the red wine, beef stock, dried thyme, tomato puree and plenty of salt and pepper. Give everything a good stir.
• Lock on the lid of the pressure cooker, turn the pressure to II (or whichever regular setting your pressure cooker uses), wait for the pressure indicator to show you that it has reached pressure and then reduce the heat until it reaches a low, regular hiss.
• Cook for 45 minutes and when the time is up, quick release the pressure (making sure it's away from your face/hand).
• Spoon a ladle or two of cooking juice out of the pan into a small bowl and whisk in the cornflour to make a smooth paste with no lumps. Add back into the pressure cooker and stir well.
• Allow this to bubble for 5 minutes to thicken and serve.
• (NOTE: PLEASE CONSULT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR OWN PRESSURE COOKER AS THEY MAY DIFFER AND THOSE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE!)

BURGUNDY BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put a large, heavy-bottomed, ovenproof pot over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pot and reserve for serving.
• Pat the beef dry and season it with salt and pepper. Turn up the heat under the pot to medium high and brown the beef on all sides in batches, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside. If there is a lot of oil left, pour off all but 2 tablespoons.
• Add the onion, celery and finely chopped carrot to the pot and cook until the vegetables begin to wilt, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, flour and garlic and cook for another minute or 2. Pour in the wine, whisking to combine, and bring to a boil. Add the mushrooms, pearl onions and 1-inch carrot pieces. Return the beef to the pot. Pour in enough broth to just cover the meat and bring to a simmer. Cover and put into the oven. Cook until the beef is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Skim off any excess fat from the top of the stew and serve garnished with parsley and the reserved bacon.
