• Close and lock the lid. Open vent for steaming. Select Meat/Stew function; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix water and potato starch until creamy.

• Drop half of the meat into the hot pressure cooker and sear on all sides. Repeat for other half of the meat.
• Remove meat from the pc and set aside.
• Pour beer or ale or water into hot pc and deglaze the pot. This is very important. A lot of taste!
• Return meat to pot and put the rest of the ingredients in the pot and stir well. After stirring all ingredients should be covered in fluid. If not, add more broth or water as needed.
• Put lid on pot and bring to 15 lbs of pressure. cook for 17 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook bacon, drain and chop coarsely, set aside.
• Heat oil in bottom of cooker and brown beef in batches, set aside.
• Melt butter in cooker, add onions and mushrooms. Cook until liquid is evaporated (10 to 15 min) Stir in tomato paste, whisk in Guinness, mustard and salt and pepper.
• One tablespoon at a time, add flour until desired consistency.
• Add beef and bacon back to cooker, on med - high heat, get the rocker rocking loudly, reduce heat to med - low and let rock gently for 30 - 40 minutes.
• If you don't want your beef to absolutely fall apart in your mouth, reduce the cooking time by about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Run pressure cooker under cold water to release pressure quickly and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the beef and 2 tablespoons flour. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside.
• Using the sauté setting, heat the oil in the pot. Add the garlic, dried shiitakes (if using), tomato paste, brown sugar, cocoa, onion powder, caraway seeds and espresso powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fragrant and evenly combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1/3 cup flour and cook, stirring and scraping constantly, until the mixture forms a thick, dry paste, about 1 minute.
• Add the beer and broth and bring to a boil, whisking constantly to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let boil until noticeably thickened, about 1 minute. Add the beef and thyme and stir to combine. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 22 minutes.
• Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. (If you find that too much liquid is spurting out with the steam, close the knob to seal again, wait a minute, and then turn the knob to release the rest of the pressure.) Open and stir in the potatoes and root vegetables. Set steam valve to sealed position and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually.
• Open the lid. If the beef and vegetables are not tender, pressure cook on high for 3 more minutes and manually release the pressure. Add the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and lemon juice if necessary. (If the stew tastes flat, add more lemon juice first, then more salt and pepper; acid is key to making it taste lively. It may need a surprising amount of salt, especially if you have used unsalted or low-salt stock.)
• Discard the thyme sprigs and skim the fat from the top using a ladle or by passing a clean paper towel just over the surface of the stew. (If you would like the stew to be thicker, transfer the beef and vegetables with a slotted spoon to a bowl or plate. Using the sauté setting, let boil until it is the desired consistency. Add the beef and vegetables back into the pot.)
• Make the horseradish cream: Stir together the sour cream, horseradish and scallions in a small bowl. Season with salt. Serve stew in bowls with a spoonful of the horseradish cream.
