Method

1. In a large bowl, toss the beef with the flour, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper to taste
2. In a 5- to 8-quart pressure cooker, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat until very hot
3. Add enough of the beef cubes to the pot to form a single layer (about a third), being careful not to overcrowd the pot
4. Brown the meat on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes total, then transfer the meat to a large bowl
5. Brown the remaining beef in two batches and transfer to the bowl
6. If the meat or pan juices start to scorch, reduce the heat
7. Add the bottle of Guinness to the pot
8. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom
9. Pour the ale over the beef, return the empty pot to medium-high heat, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pot
10. Add the onion and remaining 2 teaspoons salt; cook, stirring often, 2 minutes
11. Partially cover the pot (do not lock) and reduce the heat to low
12. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has a hint of gold color, about 10 minutes
13. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes
14. Return the beef to the pot with the ale
15. Add the broth, Worcestershire, and bay leaf
16. Close and lock the lid
17. Set the burner heat to high
18. When the cooker reaches HIGH pressure, reduce the burner heat as low as you can and still maintain HIGH pressure
