Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound bacon sliced into 1” strips
  • 3 tablespoons ghee grass-fed butter, or olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 pounds beef roast cut into 1" cubes (may sub with pre-cubbed beef stew meat)
  • 2 cups button mushrooms quartered
  • 1 medium white onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons gluten free flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups red wine merlot is my personal choice
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 sprigs fresh flat leaf parsley plus additional for garnish
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 6 inches kitchen twine

Instructions

  • Press "saute" on your Instant Pot and add the bacon. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the bacon is crisped. Pour off all but one tablespoon of fat.
  • Toss the beef with the salt and pepper, then add the butter or ghee to the pot. Once melted, add the beef cubes to the pot one handful at a time, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they’re browned. They do not need to be completely cooked through – only browned on the outside. Spoon out cooked beef and rotate in raw until you’ve gone through all 4 pounds. Set the cooked beef aside in a large bowl for use later. If you'd like to speed up this step, you can also brown half the beef in a large cast iron over the stove at the same time.
  • Once all the beef is out of the pot, add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are reduced in size, then remove from from the pot.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pot, once melted add the flour and whisk to combine.
  • Whisk in the beef broth and the wine 1 cup at a time making sure all lumps are smoothed. Let cook for about 5 minutes, until the mixture comes to a boil, then, add the beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and bacon back to the pot.
  • Tie your bay leaf, parsley, and thyme together. Place the herb bundle in the stew. Place the lid over the top and cook on high pressure for 1 hour.
  • Serve with fresh parsley & a glass of your favorite merlot. Enjoy!

Notes

For the slow cooker version: We recommend you crisp the bacon, brown the beef, and make your broth/wine/flour mixture in a pan first as listed. You can then transfer all the ingredients into a slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
