French-Style Beef Stew

This Pressure-Cooker Beef & Red Wine Stew is the ultimate Weekend Feast. It takes the soul-warming, deep flavors of a traditional French Boeuf Bourguignon—which usually takes all day to simmer—and uses modern magic to bring it to your table in a fraction of the time without losing a drop of richness.
