Instant Pot Beef Stew

This is based on the recipe I found online at this website: kristineskitchenblog.com/instant-pot-beef-stew/

Ingredient

Food ration :

6 servings

Cooking time :

1 hr 30 min

2 lbs

yellow onion diced (1/2 cup of diced frozen onion works too)

1.5 lbs

carrots (baby carrots or full size)

10 oz

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Set instant pot to saute. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to instant pot and brown stew meat. Brown in 2 batches 1 lb at a time or do it all at once if it will fit. Allow meat to brown on each side for at least 4 minutes.

* Step 2

Once the meat has browned, remove from instant pot and set aside. Add another tbsp of olive oil and saute onion (2-4 minutes).

* Step 3

Add 1 cup of beef stock to deglaze the pot. Be sure to scrape up any little bits so it won't burn during the pressure cooking portion.

* Step 4

If you haven't already turn off the saute mode.

* Step 5

Add the tomato paste and stir until combined. Then add the salt, pepper, italian seasoning, thyme, worcester sauce, and the rest of the beef stock and stir.

* Step 6

Add the stew meat back to the instant pot.

* Step 7

Pour the potatoes, carrots, and frozen peas on top of the meat. DO NOT STIR.

* Step 8

Put the top on the instant pot. Make sure it is set to seal and not venting. Set to high pressure cooking for 35 minutes (just hitting the meat/stew button works on mine).

* Step 9

Once finished pressure cooking allow to natural release for 10-15 minutes, then quick release.

* Step 10

Mix the corn starch and cold water together to form a slurry. Turn on saute mode and add corn starch slurry stirring to thicken the broth of the stew. Turn off instant pot once the broth has reached the desired thickness.
