Due to household schedule changes, I moved the cooking up a day to today. I decided to take most of the meat off the neck bones, which gave me almost 16 ounces of stew meat, and I put the bones in the freezer to use another day.
Beef Stew
I browned the meat in the pot, then added beef broth, sweet vermouth, worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, a bay leaf, black pepper and salt and cooked on Manual at High Pressure for 15 minutes with Natural Release. Added the potatoes, carrots, onion and more broth and cooked on Manual at High Pressure for 7 minutes (will reduce to 6 minutes next time as the potatoes got a little too soft) and Quick Release. Thickened the gravy with xanthum gum, added canned green beans (drained), covered and left on Keep Warm.
