Made this today and it was pretty yummy. Instead of beef broth I did a packet of onion soup mix with 2 cups water, also some fat free yogurt to make it creamy and corn starch to thicken it up.


½ cup flour
salt & pepper
2 lbs lean stew meat
1 diced onion
1 (14 ½ ounce) can beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces tomato sauce
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons flour
1 lb noodles
Directions:
1
Combine 1/2 cup flour with the salt and pepper and toss with beef cubes to coat thoroughly.
2
Place in pressure cooker. Add onions, broth, tomato sauce and worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
3
Bring up to pressure and cook for 20 minutes.
4
While the beef is cooking prepare the noodles.
5
Make a smooth paste of water or red wine and 3 tablespoons flour; stir into pressure cooker, mixing well.

Simmer until thickened.
7
Serve over cooked noodles.
