This easy Instant Pot beef stew recipe has a rich and flavorful sauce and tender fall-apart beef, carrots, and potatoes. The perfect hearty family meal made faster than oven or stove methods. Beef stew is one of my favorite things to make in the electric pressure cooker because it saves time/effort when it comes to tenderizing tougher cuts of meat like your standard beef stewing cubes. On the stove, this can take anywhere from 1-2 hours to get the meat tender, but the Instant Pot makes this process quicker and easier in my opinion. It’s hands-off once you close that lid, which is something I like.

Ingredients

4 cloves Garlic minced
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
5 1/2 oz. Tomato paste
10 1/2 oz. Beef broth
2 pounds Yellow potatoes diced
3 sticks Celery chopped
3 Large carrots sliced
1 Medium onion chopped
2 tbsp. Olive oil divided
Flour for dredging
2 pounds Beef stewing cubes

Method

01

Dredge the beef in flour on all sides. Add 1 tbsp of the oil to your Instant Pot. Press the "saute" button and once the oil is hot, add the beef. Brown the beef on all sides.
02

Once the beef is nicely seared, take it out of the Instant Pot and set aside. I add the second tablespoon of oil before browning the second batch.
03

While the beef is browning, I like to do the onions/celery/carrots/potato chopping, but if you prefer to prep everything beforehand, that is fine too.
04

When the second batch of beef is browned, take it out of the Instant Pot. Add the onion and saute for 3-4 minutes.
05

Add the beef broth, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic to the Instant Pot. Give it a good stir.
06

Add the remaining ingredients. Close the lid and set the valve on "sealing", and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes.
07

Season with salt and pepper as needed, and enjoy! Recipe freezes well.
