How to cook deliciously - Pressure-Cooker Beef and Farro Stew

1. Stage

Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat; add 1 tablespoon oil. When oil is hot, brown beef in batches. Set aside.

2. Stage

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, carrots, celery and onion to pressure cooker; cook and stir until vegetables are crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes.

3. Stage

Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add tomato paste; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits.

4. Stage

Return beef to pressure cooker. Stir in stock, potatoes, mushrooms, farro, bay leaves, garlic powder and thyme. Press cancel.

Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 30 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 15 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. If desired, skim fat from stew. Discard bay leaves.
