For a thicker stew, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew after pressure cooking and simmer on 'Sauté' mode until thickened. If you don't have Yukon Gold potatoes, Russet potatoes will also work, but they may break down slightly more during cooking. For an even deeper flavor, consider adding a bay leaf or a sprig of fresh thyme to the stew during pressure cooking. Remove before serving. Browning the beef is essential for flavor development; don't skip this step! Use high-quality beef broth for the best flavor. Homemade broth is even better! Add a splash of red wine after searing the beef for an even richer flavor profile.
