Beef stew made in a pressure cooker without using roux

Beef stew（ビーフシチュー）

What kind of dish is Beef stew??

This is a recipe for beef stew that uses canned demi-glace sauce instead of a commercially available solid roux.

This recipe uses a pressure cooker, so the beef becomes so soft that it melts in your mouth.

If you are cooking with a pressure cooker, cut the ingredients into large pieces. Enjoy the flavor of the ingredients.

2 minutes is enough time to pressurize potatoes and carrots.

The pressure time for meat varies depending on the cut of beef used and the place of origin. I set the pressure time to two minutes because Japanese beef is relatively fatty and tender.

If you are using lean Aussie beef, fry it in butter, then pressure the beef for 10 minutes, add the other ingredients and pressure it for another two minutes.

For potatoes, the May Queen variety is suitable for stewing, as it does not lose its shape even when heated.

Demi-glace sauce

Brown roux (flour stir-fried in butter until brown and cooled) and fond de veau (soup made by simmering veal, onions, carrots, and celery) are combined and boiled, then wine and harb are added.

Only a small amount of flour (roux) is used because the natural gelatin and salt in the calf’s body give it a thick and salty taste when boiled down.

Demi-glace sauce takes a lot of time and effort to make in earnest.Therefore, many hayashi rice and beef stew recipes use canned demi-glace sauce.

Beef Stew COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

1. I used 3cm cubes of beef sold for stew. You can also use komagire beef.
2. Cut the potatoes into quarters if they are large, or in half if they are small
3. Cut the carrots and onions into bite-sized pieces
4. Fry the beef in butter
5. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the beef and fry until it changes color.
6. Add the potatoes, carrots, and onions and fry
7. Add water and pressure cook for 2 minutes
8. After reducing the pressure, add the canned demi-glace sauce, tomato ketchup, and red wine and simmer.

If your pressure cooker has a valve to reduce the pressure, you can also reduce the pressure quickly. However, even during depressurization, the food is cooked through preheating, which is an important cooking time for delicious results. If possible, wait for the pressure to drop naturally.

Thick dishes such as curry or stew may cause the nozzle to become clogged, so please add sauces or roux after pressure cooking has finished.
