Does anyone have any good pressure cooker receipes that are for desserts or for meats such as chicken or beef?

I just got a wonderful electric pressure cooker and I'm not too impressed with the receipes that came with the appliance. :D

I've made cheesecake in it and that came out wonderful.

I just don't want my entire cooking desserts to be just cheesecake though...

Or pot roast and chicken soup...

This is one of my favorites:


Beef Bourguignon

Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs lean boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1 inch pieces
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
2 2/3 cups fresh mushrooms, halved (8 ounces)
3/4 cup onion, cut into wedges
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup beef broth or beef stock
2/3 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup water
6 cups hot cooked egg noodles (12 oz uncooked)

Directions
1. In a 4 or 6 quart pressure cooker, combine beef, carrots, mushrooms, onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, thyme, black pepper, beef broth or beef stock, wine and tomato paste.
2. Place seal in the pressure cooker lid and lock the lid in place. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe and bring to pressure over high heat. Reduce heat just enough to maintain pressure so the pressure regulator rocks gently. Cook for 12 minutes.
3. Remove cooker from heat and allow pressure to come down naturally. Once pressure is down, remove pressure regulator from lid. (Be careful - it will be hot!) Unlock lid and carefully remove it.
4. Remove the bay leaf and discard. In a small bowl stir together flour and 1/4 cup water till well combined. Add this mixture to cooker. Replace cooker over medium to medium high heat (but do not replace lid), and cook until stew is thickened and bubbly, stirring frequently. Once stew begins to thicken, continue cooking for 1 minute more.
5. Remove cooker from heat.
6. Serve stew over egg noodles.

Only one problem I can forsee with this receipe is now I'll have an almost full bottle of wine that I just have to drink or it will go bad... :D
