Important Notes
Searing the beef in batches is crucial; crowding the pot will cause the meat to steam instead of getting a flavorful brown crust.
Ensure you scrape the bottom of the pot thoroughly during deglazing to prevent a 'Burn' warning during pressure cooking.
Always mix cornstarch with cold water before adding it to hot liquid to prevent clumping.
