Season the stew meat with salt and pepper on both sides.

Set the pressure cooker to brown and add butter and olive oil until melted.

Add cubed beef in batches to brown on all sides, removing each batch to set aside after browning.

After browning the last batch of beef, add onions to the pressure cooker and sauté for 5 minutes.

Mix 2 cups of water with 2 tablespoons of better than beef bouillon and add to the pot along with one can of chopped tomatoes and parsley.

Stir in all-purpose seasoning and return the browned beef to the pot, mixing well.

Secure the lid on the pressure cooker, set to high pressure, and cook for 12 minutes.

After cooking, allow for a slow release for about 5 minutes before adding potatoes, carrots, and celery to the pot.

Stir everything together, secure the lid again, and pressurize for an additional 4 minutes.

After the second cooking, let it sit for about 5 minutes.

To thicken the stew, mix 1/4 cup of flour with 1/4 cup of cold water to create a paste.

Add 1 cup of the cooked broth from the pressure cooker to the paste, mixing until smooth.

Stir the slurry into the stew to thicken it, mixing well to avoid clumps.

Add half a can of beans, about 1.5 cups of corn, and 1/2 cup of wine to the stew, mixing everything together.

Let the stew boil for about 8 minutes before serving.
