    Heat oil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat and add the beef cubes, stirring. Cook until browned on all sides; remove the beef cubes and set them aside. Drain and discard the excess grease.

  2. 2

    Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion; cook and stir until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and mushrooms and continue cooking until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, about 5 more minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour in the beef stock, the beef cubes, and any accumulated drippings; season with salt and pepper. Return to high heat, seal the lid, and bring to full pressure.

  4. 4

    Lower the heat to low, keeping full pressure, and cook for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    While the stew cooks, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the noodles; cook, stirring often, until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  6. 6

    Remove the pressure cooker from the heat and let the pressure drop naturally. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/2 cup cold water. When the pressure has dropped, remove the lid and whisk in the cornstarch mixture.

  7. 7

    Return the beef and mushrooms to a boil; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour the beef over the noodles and serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
