This wonderful pressure cooker beef stew recipe has depth of flavor, even though it cooks in just 20 minutes in your pressure cooker. If you don't have a pressure cooker, get one This marvelous appliance is perfect for cooking recipes such as roasts, stews, and soups in record time. Feel free to add some other vegetables to this recipe as well. Frozen peas or corn with the tomatoes goes nicely, or swap out parsnips or turnips in place of the potatoes. Yukon gold potatoes go great in place of ordinary russet potatoes. Throw in a bunch of herbs, such as oregano and basil, and let the flavors combine to create something mouthwatering. You can use any cut of beef for this recipe, but we prefer rump roast or sirloin tip. You can buy meat marked "Beef for stew", but that is usually of lower quality. Look for a nice piece of beef that is sold with good marbling and some fat, but not too much. Trim off the excess fat and cut the meat into 1 1/2-inch cubes, then cook.
