Sauté veg: Melt the butter in the pot then add the mushrooms and onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and the mushrooms begin to brown. Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds, then mix in the tomato paste. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Pressure cook: Add the wine, broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Stir everything together well. Add the beef back to the pot. Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and turn the valve from VENT to SEAL. Cook for 25 minutes on high pressure, then let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before quick releasing the remaining pressure.

Whisk the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry, then add the slurry to your Instant Pot. Mix well and allow the sauce to thicken. You can add more slurry if you'd like the sauce thicker.
