Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 lb beef chuck cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 slices bacon chunks
  • 2 cups crimini mushroom halved
  • 8 oz pearl onions whole
  • 6 carrots chunks
  • 1 lb baby potatoes whole
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (GF)
  • 2 cups red wine
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh thyme
  • fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Season beef with a generous amount of salt and pepper. This is the only time we'll be seasoning the dish so be generous. Set aside.
  • Turn your instant pot on sauté mode. Heat the oil. Toss in the beef and sauté until browned (about 10-12 minutes). Transfer beef to a plate.
  • To the pot add bacon and cook until crispy (about 4 minutes). Transfer bacon to a plate.
  • To the greased pot add diced onions and garlic. Sauté until softened.
  • Stir in tomato paste and then flour. Mixture will soon become dry.
  • Add red wine, whisk to combine ingredients. Let wine reduce to about half (about 3 minutes).
  • Stir in beef broth and whisk.
  • Add beef and bacon back into the pot. Top with fresh thyme and bay leaves.
  • Top beef with all the veggies. That's the potatoes, carrots, mushroom and pearl onion. Don't mix or stir at this point. Let the veggies sit on top of the beef.
  • Cover the instant pot, lock valve and cancel sauté mode.
  • Cook Beef on high pressure for 50 minutes. When done allow all pressure to release naturally.
  • Garnish beef bourguignon with fresh cilantro and serve.
