Notes
- You can use ground beef in this recipe by replacing the stew meat with 1½ pounds of ground beef. Season the meat with the seasonings as written, then sauté the ground beef and mushrooms together until cooked through. Add the rest of the ingredients as written. Pressure cook for 2 minutes on high pressure with a quick release, and follow the rest of the recipe as written.
