3 pounds boneless beef chuck
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 medium onions, diced into 1-inch cubes

Trim the meat of all fat and cut into 1-1/2-in. cubes. Heat the oil in a pressure cooker until very hot. Toss in beef cubes and cook over high heat, stirring often, until browned on all sides. Add garlic, onion and mushrooms; stir. Sprinkle with the flour and stir to coat evenly.

Add the wine, tomatoes, olives, thyme, bay leaf, cayenne and saffron. Bring to a boil, stirring. Lock lid and bring to full pressure. Reduce heat, maintaining pressure, and cook for 20-25 minutes. Naturally release pressure. Pour the beef into a serving dish and sprinkle with the chopped parsley if desired.
