The Best Instant Pot Beef Stew Recipe
For some time now, my Instant Pot has called a spot on my kitchen counter home. I use it so often that it only makes sense to leave it on the counter ready for the next adventure the next day. From eggs to potatoes to soups to making chicken stock, it certainly gets a workout! And you probably know by now how much my family loves beef stew. I’ve shared my slow cooker version and Sam shared his recipe that he has made time and again on Scout camping trips and continues to make routinely on his nights to cook in the cookbook. But friends, now that my Instant Pot sits just waiting to help out, I turn to it time after time for making this beef stew. The meat always turns out tender and practically falling apart, the vegetables are cooked to perfection, and the broth is rich and hearty like you’ve been stewing it all day. No one would ever guess that it came together so quickly!
What Type Roast is Best for Beef Stew
You want to use a large, more to the lean side, cut of beef from the front shoulder or the rear end of the cow. The specific cuts of beef to look for are:
Chuck Roast Round Roast Rump Roast Pot Roast
Once your beef is selected, cut it into 1 1/2 to 2- inch pieces that are perfectly portioned for bite-sized pieces.
How to Make The Best Instant Pot Beef Stew Recipe
Saute beef. Drizzle olive oil into Instant Pot. Set to saute setting. Add beef pieces and cook until all sides are browned. Add in Worcestershire sauce or coconut aminos and sprinkle with Stone House Seasoning. Cook. Add the onion, carrots, potatoes, beef stock, and tomato sauce to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine. Secure the lid to the Instant Pot, make sure the vent is closed and set for 35 minutes on high setting. Release Pressure and Serve. Allow the pressure to release naturally, about 20 minutes. Then, carefully remove the lid to the Instant Pot. Ladle out some of the juices from the beef stew into a small bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch to create a slurry. Then, stir the slurry into the beef stew.
