Instant Pot Beef Stew Hearty and Delicious

December 21, 2016 by Tiffany Davis 7 Comments

Fast & Easy Instant Pot Beef Stew. All day flavor in just one hour!Instant Pot Beef Stew Hearty and Delicious

Instant Pot beef stew has quickly become my winter go-to. Sure Phoenix isn’t freezing but it gets cold enough at night that I start craving stews and soups. The problem is, I’m not always thinking that at the beginning of the day and often forget to put anything in the crock pot. That is why the Instant Pot is my best friend in the kitchen!  I can throw all the ingredients for this Instant Pot beef stew and, hit the button and break out my Mother Earth News while it does the work! 😉

The best part is that the stew is going to taste like is slowly simmered all day on your stove top. But should really only take you about an hour start to finish. This should make 6 – 8 hearty portions of this perfect winter stew. Be sure to see a link to the printed version of this recipe at the bottom of the post.

Instant Pot Beef Stew – Ingredients

  • 1 6 quart Instant Pot
  • 2 lbs of stew meat
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 6 oz of tomato paste
  • 5 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound of potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 2-3 stalks of celery (with leaves that add more flavor), chopped

Instant Pot Beef Stew – Directions

  1. Set your Instant Pot to Sauté
  2. Add coconut, beef, salt and pepper to the pot
  3. Slightly brown meat
  4. Add in the onion and garlic and continue to sauté until softened
  5. Now add the remaining ingredients and give it all a stir
  6. Put on your lid, and make sure the vent is closed
  7. Switch your Instant Pot to Meat/Stew and set for 18 minutes
  8. Once the cooking is completed, let the Instant Pot depressurize naturally (do not open the vent)
  9. Spoon into your stew in bowls, top dry or fresh parsley or even a little dried oregano for added flavor
  10. Serve with some sourdough bread and butter

Don’t be afraid to play with your seasonings.  I often will throw in some fresh rosemary, thyme and I have even put in some cilantro; experiment to see what you like best. If you do not have an Instant Pot you can put all the ingredients (omit oil) into your crock pot and cook low for 6-8 hours.

    Tried this last night instead of my tried and true Better Homes & Gardens (the old red plaid one) one that I’ve been cooking for almost 50 years. This was delicious besides being fast and pretty. Had a couple problems with ingredients that I didn’t have when I thought I did. That had nothing to do with the recipe that we could tell. It’s a keeper! Even our son who has always LOVED “Mom’s Beef Stew” commented how good it was….Hubby too. Thank you for sharing it with all of us!

      Never claimed it was Kosher. Not sure why you assumed it was Kosher…leave the butter out if you prefer.
