INSTRUCTIONS
Select the “sauté” mode and heat 3 tbsp olive oil. Sear 24 oz beef for 7 minutes (3.5 minutes each side), and stir in 3 tbsp all-purpose flour.

Set the beef aside and add 1 tbsp butter, 4 oz onions, and 1 tbsp garlic to the pot. Stir around for 4 minutes or until the onions turn translucent. Add the beef back along with 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 1/2 tsp brown gravy mix, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp traditional Dijon mustard.

Glaze the pot with 2 tbsp red wine. Scrape the bits stuck to the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release all of the flavors.

Add 2 cups unsalted chicken broth, close the lid, and select the “meat/stew” mode or manually cook the beef for 40 minutes. While it’s cooking, make the mashed potatoes and juice.

Place a piece of kitchen cloth onto the valve and release the pressure. Add 8 oz baby carrots in and cook for another 15 minutes on “meat/stew” mode.

Release the pressure again, place the beef and carrots into a bowl, and reduce the gravy for 15 minutes on “sauté” mode. Meanwhile, tear the beef apart with one fork in each hand.

Add 1 oz pepperoncinis and 1 tbsp sour cream to the pot, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute, then turn off the heat.

Serve: place the shredded meat onto the mashed potatoes, and drizzle the whole thing with the rich gravy. Dollop 1 tbsp Greek yogurt on top, and sprinkle with fresh parsley and coriander.
