Beef Stew – (Pressure Cooker Recipe)

Beef Stew 3A soup, chili, or stew is one of those satisfying comfort foods we look forward to on a chilly day.   My grandchildren also enjoy this dish, so I occasionally prepare it for them as well.

Preparing beef stew on top of the stove, the traditional way could be time-consuming, but it only takes 15 minutes in a pressure cooker.

This stew recipe will easily serve four to six people.
