Instructions

Preparation

  • Get measuring devices, pot, wooden spoon, and knife

  • Cut carrots 
  • Cut mushrooms into quarters and set aside

  • Break down chuck into 2-3 square inch pieces and season with salt liberally 

Medium-High heat cooking phase

  • Place a heavy bottomed dutch oven or pressure cooker on stove on medium high heat 
  • Saute the mushrooms in olive oil and butter for 5 minutes, remove and side aside 
  • Add the bacon until fat is rendered out and bacon crisp, remove and set aside 
  • Sear the beef on each side 

Slow cooking phase

  • Add the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw taste 
  • Add the onions, garlic, carrots, bacon 
  • Add the beef stock and wine 
  • Cover and cook at high pressure for 2 hours, or if not using a pressure cooker 3.5-4 hours (until beef is fork tender) 

Reduce liquid 

  • Depressurize and remove lid 
  • Add mushrooms and herbs in 
  • Cook on high under open air for another 30 minutes or until your stew has the consistency of gravy
  • Serve and Enjoy
