There’s no need to wait for a large piece of meat to tenderize for hours when your Instant Pot can do it in less than an hour! This warm, comforting bowl of hearty beef stew can be made in a fraction of the time. Don’t forget to sear the meat first to add deeper flavor and caramelization to the end product.
Remember to sear in batches, because otherwise the meat will just steam and you’ll miss out on those crispy brown bits. We love the large chunks of carrot and potato, but feel free to chop them smaller if that’s more what you’re looking for. Lastly — don’t forget lots and lots of crusty bread for dunking!

This is largely due to the fact that most traditional American Beef Stews rely on the aromatics and the beef as the main flavor boosters, using only water to deglaze the pan. You could, in fact, sub in a full-bodied red wine for the water in this recipe and it will result in a richer, darker stew.
We love both kinds, so give them each a try! Let us know how it went in the comments below! This ingredient shopping module is created and maintained by a third party, and imported onto this page.
