INSTANT POT BEEF STEW WITH POTATOES
I love this Instant Pot beef stew dish: it’s an easy, simple, and incredibly comforting beef stew with vegetables like pearl onions, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms.Beef stews are one of my favorite cold rainy day, curl-up-on-the-couch dinners. Think Hungarian paprika beef stew and Cuban beef stew (ropa vieja). It’s also one of the first recipes everyone always asks me about for the Instant Pot: “Hi Julia, your Instant Pot artichokes/salmon/chicken tikka masala looks great! But… do you have a recipe for how to make beef stew in the Instant Pot?” It makes sense; beef stew is one of those recipes that really makes the Instant Pot shine. You don’t have to cook for hours to get really tender beef; just 35 minutes. You can brown the beef and pressure cook it all in the same pot, so that means fewer dishes to clean. I use the Instant Pot, but you don’t have to — any multi-cooker with a saute and pressure cooking function will do.
This recipe makes what I consider to be a very basic beef stew. You won’t find any weird or secret ingredients lurking about here, just your typical stew ingredients. It’s a simple recipe that hits home every time.
