Boeuf Bourguignon


The Carinena isn't too enjoyable to drink but it is good enough to cook.  I like to make stews in pressure cooker not because I need it quickly but I find it gives a much more juicy and tender result.  This is very basic, beef pieces are salted, peppered and browned before carrot, onion, whole garlic and celery are added for a few minutes.  Sprinkle on some flour and then fresh thyme and bay leaves go in before the wine.  Brought it all to a boil and up to pressure then cooked for half an hour.  I like to leave it in the pot overnight before heating it up and simmer for 10 minutes with sautéed mushroom.
