Instant Pot Recipes Beef Stew Meat Recipe

Ingredients:

* 2 pounds beef stew meat (chuck or round work well)
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 large onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 cup beef broth
* 1 cup red wine (optional)
* 2 cups mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake work well)

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 minute, until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Add the beef stew meat to the Instant Pot, breaking it up into smaller pieces if necessary. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the meat is browned on all sides.
5. Add the paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
6. Pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using). Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
7. Add the mixed mushrooms to the pot, stirring to combine.
8. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to "Sealing". Press the "Meat/Stew" button or "Manual" mode and set the cooking time to 30 minutes at high pressure.
9. When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
10. Open the lid and check the beef stew meat for tenderness. If it's not tender to your liking, close the lid and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, then repeat the pressure release process.

Cook Time: 30 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Variations:

* Italian-Style: Add 1 cup of chopped bell peppers and 1 cup of cherry tomatoes to the pot along with the mushrooms. Use red wine as the liquid and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese at the end.
* Mushroom-Only: Use only mushrooms and beef broth as the liquid, omitting the red wine and beef stew meat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pot during the final 10 minutes of cooking.
* Jamaican Jerk: Add 1 teaspoon of jerk seasoning to the pot along with the thyme and paprika. Use coconut milk instead of beef broth and add 1 cup of diced pineapple to the pot during the final 10 minutes of cooking.
