Instant Pot Beef Stew

Gosh, if there were ever a soup that depicted cozy nights and hearty fall soups, it would be instant pot beef stew. Of course we love beef stew because it’s DELICIOUS, but we also love it because it has a little bit of everything. Beef? Check! Veggies? Check! Hearty? Check! Totally delicious??? Check check check! It seriously covers everything, you will love it! While most versions of beef stew take hours to cook so the meat can tenderize, using the instant pot takes this three to four hour recipe down to a mere hour – tops. We sauté stew meat in the bottom of the instant pot, and once it’s brown, cover it in big pieces of carrot, celery, onion, and potatoes. The meat and veggies get drowned in broth, and then we will the instant pot go to town! This delicious Sourdough Bread is perfect to go with it. I mean everyone loves a good bread to dip!

Ingredients in Instant Pot Beef Stew

This recipe has so many delicious flavors happening at the same time! It’s hard to pick out which part creates the best taste! See the recipe card below for a list of exact ingredient measurements.

Stew meat :You can use a chuck roast and cut it yourself, but I find it’s easiest to just buy stew meat already cut up and trimmed at the butcher counter.Salt: I use kosher salt in this recipe! Black pepper: If you use freshly cracked black pepper then it will bring the most fresh and delicious flavor! Olive oil. For beef stew, I like to cook the meat in a light olive oil – canola oil also works.Beef stock: I always use low-sodium so we can control the amount of salt that goes into the dish.Tomato paste: I love to use tomato paste in this beef stew because it helps to thicken the stew. It also has a really concentrated tomato flavor, so it adds a ton of flavor.Tomato puree: You could use tomato puree or canned tomatoes here. My kiddos don’t really like whole tomatoes, so I sneak them in this way. If you have canned diced tomatoes on hand, that works too!Bay leaves: These add that deep, earthy flavor that stew have, Sugar: This adds a slight hint of sweetness to counter all of the other flavors. Worcestershire sauce: I use only the tiny bit of this because it is such a strong flavor. Vegetables: I used the classic vegetables in this! Carrots, gold potatoes, onion, celery, frozen peas. Cornstarch and water: These are used to thicken up the stew!
