Beef Burgundy or Chicken Chardonnay
.
If use Safeway pepper bacon, it has enough pepper
.
Crock pot or pressure cooker or stove top use same recipe
.
4 thick cut slices (Safeway) bacon, chopped to very small pieces
2-5 Lbs beef trimmed of fat (round steak or stewing beef) cut into 1-inch chunks
-LIGHT coating of flour and sear beef in bacon drippings (or 1/2 inch chunks)
-Too much flour and the instant pot may go into 'burn' mode when it sticks
-1/2 inch chunks are for the person with bad teeth
OR similar amount of cut up boneless + skinless chicken thighs
-sear chicken in bacon drippings, flour not needed
2-3 large white/yellow onions, sliced large chunks
2 heaping teaspoons ground wet garlic
1-2 pinch coarse salt - Safeway pepper bacon has enough pepper
OR one tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning (has salt+pepper)
1 cup of a 'big-hearty' red wine for beef
OR 1 cup of Chardonnay wine for chicken
3 cups beef stock made from better than bullion
OR 3 cups chicken stock made from better than bullion
2 tablespoons ‘blended’ Italian seasoning
.
Mix well in the instant pot and use the Beef button
.
OPTIONAL (low carb)
Cut up 2 packages of ‘tofu noodles’ to go in the mix while cooking
.
Serve over real rice (OR cauliflower ‘rice’ for low carb)

I'm making a lot of pesto from basil growing in my garden and alternating that with curry recipes made in my Instant Pot.

My garden is really sad this year. The triple-digit heat and pesky hornworms have wreaked havoc on just about everything. But all is not lost. I have 3 pots of basil growing in my kitchen window.

Curry, mmm, yum.
