# How-To Steps:
01 - Set the pressure cooker to sauté mode. Heat olive oil and brown beef cubes in batches, approximately 5 minutes each side. Remove browned beef and set aside.
02 - Add diced onion to the cooker and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
03 - Return 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. Stir thoroughly to combine.
04 - Secure the lid and set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 30 minutes.
05 - After cooking, allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
06 - Remove bay leaves. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry. Stir slurry into the stew and simmer on sauté mode for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened.
07 - Incorporate frozen peas into the pot and cook for 2 more minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
08 - Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
