Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 3 potatoes, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté and heat olive oil. Brown the beef in batches, then remove.
- Add onion and garlic, cook until softened. Stir in tomato paste.
- Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, and add the browned beef, carrots, and potatoes.
- Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 35 minutes.
- Once done, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release.
- For a thicker stew, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the stew, using the sauté setting to thicken.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, remove bay leaf, and serve hot.
Notes
- You can substitute other root vegetables like parsnips or sweet potatoes for added variety.
- Adjust the liquid for desired consistency; more broth for a soupier stew, less for thicker results.
