Instant Pot Beef Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Melt butter and cook beef chuck cubes in batches until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch.
• Return all beef chuck to the pot. Add potatoes, mushrooms, onion, carrots, and garlic; cover with beef broth. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Close and lock the lid. Select Meat/Stew function according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

Steps:

• Add the oil to the Instant Pot® and set to saute (see Cook's Note).
• Meanwhile, toss the beef with the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and a generous amount of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the meat and all the flour to the Instant Pot® in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Stir once and allow to brown for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to coat. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
• Add the carrots, celery, thyme and onions and stir to coat. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and set to pressure cook on high for 40 minutes. After the pressure cycle is complete follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.

Steps:

• On a cutting board, pat the cubed chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all over with the salt and pepper.
• Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the beef, working in batches to avoid overcrowding, and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the browned beef to a plate to rest.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the onion to the Instant Pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, 1 minute.
• Add the tomato paste and thyme and stir to combine, about 1 minute. Add the Worcestershire sauce and ½ cup of beef broth and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, seared beef, and remaining 2 cups of beef broth to the pot and secure the lid. Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. When the timer is up, let the Instant Pot naturally release for 10 minutes. If there is any remaining pressure, switch the valve to quick release.
• Remove the lid from the Instant Pot and set to sauté.
• In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch and water together until the cornstarch is dissolved.
• Add the cornstarch slurry and peas to the Instant Pot and stir to combine. Cook until the broth thickens, about 1 minute.
• Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with the parsley.
• Enjoy!
