stirring often
until the meat is browned on all sides and onion is translucent
about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in sugar.

beef bouillon
garlic
bay leaf
parsley
and basil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. When bouillon cubes are dissolved
fit the pressure cooker's rack in the cooker (if it has one). Layer potatoes
carrots
and meat mixture in the pressure cooker
seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Seal the lid and bring the cooker up to full pressure.

about 15 minutes before releasing lid. Transfer the meat and vegetables to a serving bowl and pour pan juices over meat and vegetables.
