“Low and slow” is usually the motto for tender and delicious meat, however a pressure cooker can help speed things along. Less expensive cuts of meat such as chuck, chuck Shoulder, and top chuck are best in a beef stew because they usually require a long cook-time to get fork tender. Time is a precious commodity when I am running around picking up my kids from school and transporting them to their activities. My pressure cooker is an invaluable time-saver. I have always loved beef stew, but cooking it the “low and slow” way can take more than 2 hours. Here is a recipe for a delicious Pressure Cooker Beef Stew that, with a little preparation, can be ready in just 40 minutes.

I usually serve my Pressure Cooker Beef Stew with a green salad and bread.
To save time, I will chop all the vegetables in advance. I refrigerate the cubed potatoes in water to keep them from turning brown.
