Ingredients:
* 2 pounds beef stew meat (such as chuck or round)
* 1 large onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 medium-sized carrots, peeled and chopped
* 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and chopped
* 1 cup beef broth
* 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
* 1 tablespoon tomato paste
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon paprika
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional)
Instructions:
1. Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper.
2. Press the "Saute" button on the Instant Pot and melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
4. Add the beef stew meat to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the chopped carrots and potatoes, beef broth, red wine (if using), tomato paste, thyme, and paprika to the pot. Stir to combine.
6. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to "Sealing". Press the "Meat/Stew" button or "Manual" mode and set the cooking time to 30 minutes at high pressure.
7. When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
8. Open the lid and stir in the flour to thicken the stew. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
9. If desired, stir in the heavy cream to add a rich and creamy texture to the stew.
10. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme).
