"Bò Kho is a delicious Vietnamese Beef Stew that comes together in less than 30 minutes of prep time. Bò Kho can be enjoyed with rice, as a noodle soup, or my favorite, with some fresh crusty French bread. The best part is that leftovers can quickly be transformed into many new and fun dishes."

Method
Step 1
Set the pressure cooker to sauté mode and preheat on high.
Step 2
While the pot is heating up, season beef with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Add oil into the pressure cooker and add in 1/3 of Beef Chuck. Be careful not to crowd the pot. Sear 2 sides of the beef for 2-3 minutes each.
Step 4
Remove beef once browned and repeat batches until all the beef has browned. Add additional oil if needed.
Step 5
While the beef is browning, combine tomato paste, beef broth, mushroom seasoning, five spice, curry powder, and fish sauce.
Step 6
Once all the beef is done browning, add in the diced onions, shallots and garlic into the pressure cooker. Sauté for about 2 minutes, then add 1 cup of water to deglaze the pot. Scrape all browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Step 7
Add back the browned beef, add carrots, sauce mixture, lemongrass, anise seeds, bay leaves, and cinnamon stick.
Step 8
Set the pressure cooker to cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
Step 9
Let the pot naturally depressurize for 10 minutes after the cooking cycle has completed and carefully release pressure.
Step 10
Garnish and serve immediately with desired sides.
