Add the speck, onion, garlic, carrots and celery and sauté for 10 minutes or until soft.
Add the flour and continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Add all remaining ingredients to the pot, including the beef and stir well to combine.
Attach the lid, select the beef function (35 minutes) and press start.
When the cooking time has completed, release the pressure slowly using the quick release method.
