Ingredients

For this delectable beef stew, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 kg beef chuck or stewing beef, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 large potatoes, diced
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 2 cups beef broth (or stock)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Method

Step 1: Sauté the Beef

Start by setting your Ninja Foodi to the ‘Sauté’ function. Add the olive oil and let it heat up. Season the beef cubes generously with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Brown the beef on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the meat and set it aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent. Next, add the minced garlic, celery, carrots, and potatoes, continuing to sauté for another 3-4 minutes. This step builds a beautiful flavour base for your stew.

Step 3: Add Remaining Ingredients

Return the browned beef to the pot and stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and the bay leaf. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring that all the ingredients are submerged. Give everything a good stir and taste to adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 4: Cook Under Pressure

Close the lid of the Ninja Foodi and set the valve to the sealing position. Select the ‘Pressure Cook’ function and set the timer for 35 minutes on high pressure. Once the time is up, allow the steam to naturally release for about 10 minutes before carefully turning the valve to ‘vent’ to release any remaining pressure.

Step 5: Thicken the Stew (Optional)

If you prefer a thicker stew, you can create a slurry with the cornstarch mixed with a little cold water. Stir this into the stew after the pressure has been released and select the ‘Sauté’ function once again. Simmer for a few minutes until the stew has thickened to your liking.

Step 6: Serve

Remove the bay leaf, taste one last time for seasoning adjustments, and ladle the stew into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of colour and serve with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
