During the recent bomb cyclone snowstorm, I couldn't go to the store for several days as I waited to get plowed out of my driveway. I had plenty of food, but a lot of it was that first of January "diet" food and I was craving a warm stick-to-your ribs stew.
It became a challenge to see what I had on hand that I could assemble into a dish that would warm my bones and satisfy my appetite. I had a hanger steak in the freezer and carrots, mushrooms, shallots and garlic on hand. I had half a bottle of burgundy (pinot noir) left over from the last supper before the storm and so a beef burgundy stew immediately came to mind.
Because I had never made a beef burgundy stew before, and was short on time, I decided to use my handy electric pressure cooker. I am a new fan of these one-pot meals and amazed at the flavor that you can coax out of a pressure cooker.
I decided to cook the hanger steak whole and still partially frozen, and cut it into chunks once it was done. I like the texture of the meat better this way, even though almost every stew recipe out there tells you to chunk it up first. If you don't want to use hanger steak, there are other cuts of beef that you can use.
Burgundy Beef Stew
Servings: 6-8. Start to finish: 75 minutes.
1 hanger steak brisket or boneless short ribs, 1½-2 pounds
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
½ teaspoon fresh-ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
⅛ teaspoon dried sage
2 large carrots, cleaned and sliced into rounds
½ bulb of garlic, 6-9 individual cloves peeled
6-8 shallots peeled and trimmed
1 package (8-ounces) of white mushrooms, cleaned and cut in half
1 quart (4 cups) beef broth or stock
2 cups red burgundy (pinot noir)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Set whole hanger steak or other meat on a plate. Mix together the salt, pepper, rosemary and sage. If you like a more "seasoned" stew, double the spice mixture and save half of it for seasoning at the end. Season the meat with the spice rub and place in the pressure cooker or a Dutch oven.
Pour the sliced carrots, garlic cloves, shallots and mushrooms on top of the meat. Pour the beef broth and wine over the meat and vegetables. Seal your pressure cooker or "Instant Pot" according to manufacturer directions. Set on high pressure for 23 minutes. Once it is cooked, release pressure and keep it warm.
Remove the meat and discard any connective tissue. Cut into chunks and place back into the hot pot and stir. Keep the stew on warm.
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the flour. Let it cook until brown and thickened. Add a little of the cooking liquid, about ½ cup total, and let it cook until thickened, stirring frequently.
Add thickened sauce to the hot liquid and let simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. At this point, you can taste the stew and correct any seasonings by adding salt and pepper if needed. You can also season the stew with the spice rub that you seasoned the meat with if you doubled the recipe. Serve the stew at this point, or do as I do and pour the stew into a Dutch oven and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.
When ready to serve, remove fat cap and simmer for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbling.
