I have to admit I had never used the pressure cooker mode before and boy was I missing out!
This beer stew was the fastest, juiciest meat cooked in this new Crock-Pot Express that I have ever eaten.
The biggest difference between using the slow cooker method is, that this pot can sear first so the meat is browned in the same pot and so easy!
After searing in around 4 to 5 minutes, add ingredients, set it, and viola, it cooks in 35 minutes as opposed to 5 to 6 hours in the slow cooker.
The meat is fork-tender, and adding a little thickening to the pot for 5 more minutes made the juices thick and perfect for dipping your bread in, isn't that the best part?
The crockpot express version has really upped their game with appliances and recently getting this as a gift, I am thrilled with mine.
You can slow cook, pressure cook, steam, make rice and homemade yogurt, brown, saute, and much more, all with this one “fancy” appliance.
It has the same features as an instant pot so if that's what you own, then just follow the same recipe ingredients and setting on yours.
Now, if you prefer not to use a beer in your stew using apple juice is a great substitution!
Make sure you follow the step-by-step instructions in the recipe card and scroll down to print them off.
Read everything in your manual before starting.
