- 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 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 bay leaves
- salt and pepper to taste

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.
