    Equipment

    • Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 T butter , divided
    • 1 lb stew meat , cubed
    • 2 T flour , all purpose
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • ½ C diced onions (sweet onions)
    • 2 cloves garlic , chopped
    • ½ C red wine
    • 1 T Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon dry thyme
    • 1 C chopped carrot
    • 1 stalk celery , chopped
    • 3 C diced/cubed potatoes
    • 32 oz beef broth
    • 14 oz can corn, drained OPTIONAL

    Instructions
     

    • In a bowl, stir together the flour, salt & pepper. Place cubed beef in container and toss to coat.
    • Set Instant Pot to Saute. Place 1 T butter in pot and when melted and foamy add half of the beef cubes. Allow beef to brown, then turn over and brown other side. This should take just a few minutes on each side. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove beef cubes and set aside in a bowl/on a plate. Melt remaining butter in Instant Pot and repeat process with the remainder of the beef. Again, remove the browned beef and set aside.
    • Add onions to Instant Pot and stir. Cook just 2-3 minutes and then add garlic. Stir. Cook 30 seconds. Deglaze the pot with wine (if not using wine, use broth), being sure to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in worcestershire sauce, thyme, carrot, celery and potatoes. Add the beef on top. Pour in the broth.
    • Cover the Instant Pot and set vent to "sealing". Use the "stew/meat" function or high pressure, with the timer set to 35 minutes.
    • When the timer goes off at 35 minutes, allow Instant Pot to naturally release the pressure.
    • Once pressure is released, carefully remove the cover and stir.  If desired, stir in corn.
    • If a thicker stew is desired, combine 2 T cornstarch with just enough cold water to make it smooth. Pour it into the stew and set back to saute. Continue to cook and stir occasionally until stew has thickened.

      This recipe looks great thank you! I saw your puppy from last year. I'm a trainer and nutritionist for dogs. Balanced training. Come is the #1 to train. Also resting comfortably in a kennel or on a place command for when answering a door or having to travel. And please research a home-cooked or raw diet. http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com is a great source. We have a private Facebook group too. Best of luck!

      This is the first recipe I ever made in my Instant Pot. I love Beef Stew and wanted to give your recipe a shot. I have an 8 quart IP, and went and added a container of sliced mushrooms, an extra carrot and I included 2 lbs of beef. I added a bit more broth, in order to compensate for all of the additional vegetables. This stew tastes amazing. It is rich, flavorful and will satisfy my late autumn cravings.

      Thank you so much for sharing. I will definitely try your other recipes.

        Welcome to the world of instant pot cooking! So glad you shared your experience w/ my recipe and your adjustments! If you see the side bar cloud of tags, you can click on "instant pot" and it should bring up all my IP recipes. If you like taco flavors, I would recommend the taco pasta, it's my most popular recipe! Please let me know your review of others if you try 🙂
