# How to Make It:
01 - Select the sauté function on the pressure cooker. Heat olive oil and brown beef cubes in batches for approximately 5 minutes each, ensuring all sides are seared. Remove beef and set aside.
02 - Add diced onions to the cooker and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.
03 - Return browned beef to the cooker. Add carrots, celery, potatoes, green beans, beef broth, diced tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Mix thoroughly.
04 - Secure the lid and set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 30 minutes.
05 - Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release to remove remaining pressure.
06 - Discard bay leaves. In a small bowl, create a slurry by mixing cornstarch and cold water. Stir slurry into the stew and simmer on the sauté setting for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened.
07 - Stir in frozen peas and cook for 2 more minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
08 - Ladle stew into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
