Enjoyed this recipe and will make again. I trust Taste Recipes Contest Winners. I made two tweaks to the recipe:\u00a0<\/p>
* Substituted 1 cup of Pearled Barley...something I already had...at 1\/3 the cost of farro, a specialty grain. I did not change the cooking time and worked out fine. <\/p>
* Sauteed the beef in batches and then followed by saut\u00e9ing the veggies in a cast iron skillet for better browning. Then added to the pressure-cooker. Cast iron skillet browns better than a stainless steel pressure cooker.<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
I started with 3 lbs of boneless chuck, and trimmed of grizzle to net about 2-2 1\/4 lbs of cubed beef.<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
This is a beef stew and heartier than a barley soup. Will try the farro version another day.<\/p>
\u00a0<\/p>
My favorite pressure cooker is the Kuhn Rikon Duromatic...other brands likely to work equally well.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-09-29","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Adele942"},"reviewBody":"
Made this last night. The meat came out so tender and tasted so good! The prep (chopping veggies and cutting up the roast) takes more time that the whole cooking process. I had some farro, and I had never cooked with it, but it comes out like a barley. Since I cook for just myself, I am freezing the rest. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"271165","romance_copy_dek":"This pressure-cooked beef stew is loaded with tender beef and lots of veggies.
