Ingredients

  • 4 Slices Thick cut bacon diced
  • 2-3 pounds Beef stew meat
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1/2 large Onion diced
  • 3 Carrots, Peeled and diced
  • 8 ounces Baby bella mushrooms quartered
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 15 ounce Can Guinness Stout (or beef broth)
  • 1 tablespoon Beef broth concentrate

Instructions

  1. In the electric pressure cooker, press the sauté button and adjust until "more" is highlighted.  When the display reads hot, add the diced bacon.  Cook the bacon until it is crisp, remove it to drain on paper towels, reserving the bacon grease in the pot.

  2. In a large bowl, add the beef stew meat, salt, and flour.  Stir to coat the beef with the flour.  Add half of the beef to the Instant Pot and let it sauté until brown.  Remove to a plate and add the rest of the beef to sauté until brown.

  3. Hit the cancel button, then add all of the beef to the pot, the onion, carrots, mushrooms, thyme, beer, and beef broth concentrate.

  4. Place the lid on the pot, set the valve to sealing, and set to manual for 35 minutes.  When the pot is finished cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the rest of the pressure manually by turning the valve.  

  5. Remove the lid, give the beef tips a big stir, and serve in bowls with egg noodles, rice, or potatoes.  Sprinkle the reserved cooked bacon on top of each bowl.
