  • Secure the lid and verify that the pressure valve is closed. Cook for 30 minutes at high pressure.
  • Naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes, then open the valve to release any remaining pressure.
  • Remove the herb bouquet from the Instant Pot. With a slotted spoon remove all the meat and vegetables and put them in a big bowl. Keep them warm with a cover.
  • Optionally, before thickening the sauce in the Instant Pot, you make it very velvety by using a cup fat separator to remove any excess fat.
  • Press the sauté button on low. Let the sauce thicken a little bit to your liking. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Pour the wine sauce into the bowl. Sprinkle fresh parsley and serve hot with potatoes, mashed potatoes, pasta, or even grilled slices of bread rubbed with garlic.

Notes

Beef Bourguignon is even better when reheated, so you can prepare this recipe the day before.
