For a richer flavor, sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your preference. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can simmer this stew in a Dutch oven on the stovetop for about 2-3 hours, or until the beef is very tender. For a thicker stew, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the stew after it has finished cooking. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

A comforting and deeply flavorful beef stew, reimagined for the modern kitchen with the convenience of a pressure cooker. Tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef and perfectly cooked vegetables are infused with aromatic herbs and a rich, savory broth. This is not your average stew; it's a culinary hug in a bowl.
