Beef Stew Instant Pot Recipes Easy Simple
Servings: 4-6 people
Ingredients:
* 2 pounds beef stew meat (chuck or round)
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
* 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
* 1 cup beef broth
* 1 cup red wine (optional)
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 2 bay leaves
Instructions:
1. Press the "Saute" button on the Instant Pot and heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
3. Add the chopped beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the chopped carrots and potatoes, beef broth, red wine (if using), thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
5. Close the lid 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.
6. When the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10-15 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
7. Remove the bay leaves and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme, if desired.

PrepTime: 20 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Variations:
* Mushroom Lover's Version: Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms (button, cremini, or shiitake) to the pot with the carrots and potatoes.
* Red Wine Reduction: Reduce the amount of beef broth to 1/2 cup and add an additional 1/2 cup red wine. Discard the bay leaves before serving.
* Spicy Version: Add 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin and 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika to the pot with the beef and vegetables.
* Low-Carb Version: Reduce the amount of potatoes to 1 small potato, peeled and chopped, and add 1 cup frozen green beans to the pot with the carrots.
Tips and Notes:
* Use a cheap cut of beef, like chuck or round, for tender and flavorful stew meat.
* You can also use a sirloin or ribeye if you prefer a leaner cut of meat.
* If you don't have red wine, you can omit it or substitute with an equal amount of beef broth.
* You can make this recipe in a slow cooker by cooking the stew on low for 8-10 hours. Simply brown the beef and cook the vegetables in the Instant Pot, then transfer everything to the slow cooker with the remaining ingredients.
