SAUTE
Cut the beef stew meat into bite size pieces. Using the sauté setting, brown the stew meat in butter in batches. Remove the meat to a separate bowl, then sauté the onion and garlic.
Add the browned beef stew meat with its juices back to the pot, along with the salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Stir in the beef stock. Seal the lid on the pressure cooker and pressure cook for 20 minutes.
Quick release. Stir the uncooked egg noodles into the pot. Pour an additional one or two cups of beef broth to ensure all the noodles are submerged. Seal the lid and pressure cook for 2 minutes. Do a quick release.
Stir the cornstarch slurry until it is fully dissolved, then pour it into the pot. Press the sauté button and allow the mixture to come to a simmer. Simmer until thickened. Serve in a bowl with some crusty bread and a salad.
