on Jan 17, 2018, Updated Aug 25, 2020 Seriously, that luscious gravy gets me hungry every single time I look at that picture. My husband and I both love a good beef stew. For us, it has to be thick, hearty, full of carrots, mushrooms and potatoes and tender, fall apart chunks of beef. And this easy instant pot beef stew is ALL OF that! This recipe is incredible easy. I’d say the only tough part is browning the beef, which is something that you should get right. I prefer doing everything in the IP (use the saute function) even if I have to do it in batches, but you can always brown the beef in a pan and add it to the Instant Pot if that’s easier for you.
Cooking Notes for Easy Instant Pot Beef Stew
Cut carrots and potatoes of the same size to cook everything evenly. Make sure to not cut them too small though, as cooking in the Instant Pot can make them mushy and disintegrated. Allow the instant pot to release pressure naturally for the best results and to prevent accidents. This is especially helpful when you’re dealing with lots of hot boiling liquid like in this beef stew. Here’s the Instant Pot that I use in case you want to check it out: Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt 7-in-1
If you are in the mood, serve these over my Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Seriously never going back to making this any other way. Because this easy instant pot beef stew is the shizzz!
