Pressure Cooker Beef Stew

by Mary | Feb 2, 2011 | Paleo Recipes

I’m obsessed with my pressure cooker. This is the third day I’ve cooked a savory main dish with a cook time of 15 to 25 minutes. Sunday, it was chili. Monday, it was Thai chicken (I’ll post on that later). Last night was beef stew. I adapted this recipe from food.com. It’s fun to find a recipe and modify it for Paleo. I’ve put an asterisk * next to my modifications.

The savory beef stew was delicious, filling, and the stew beef was fall-apart-on-your-fork tender.
