The Method
1. Select the SAUTE program, select BEEF STEAK and press START. Add half the oil and allow to heat. Add the beef in batches and stir regularly for ~3 minutes until browned, then set aside.
2. Add the remaining oil along with the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, thyme and bay leaf and stir regularly for ~3 minutes until the veg begins to soften.
3. Add the Worcestershire sauce, beer, beef, pickling onions, stir to combine, then press the BACK button.
4. Put the lid on and close the pressure valve then select the PRESSURE COOK function then scroll down and choose BEEF STEW. The default cooking time is 20m which is right for this recipe so press START.
5. The CleverChef Pro will take a little time to come up to pressure and will then cook for 20 mins. When this has finished we recommend the SLOW RELEASE method before opening the pressure valve and removing the lid.
