Best Instant Pot Beef Stew Recipe
I love Instant Pot beef recipes, so I’m constantly looking for ways to make our favorite dishes using our pressure cooker. Tender beef stew is the sort of recipe that’s perfect for cooking in the Instant Pot. The first time I tried making this recipe, faces lit up around the table and everyone’s bowls were quickly emptied. It was certainly a keeper for a busy weeknight meal. What makes this dish such a great choice for dinner is that it’s really so easy to make, on top of being irresistibly tasty. This is a tender beef stew, made with chuck roast, veggies, and a thick broth flavored with red wine.

How to Make Beef Stew in the Instant Pot
Pressure Cooker Beef Stew Recipe Tips
When searing, if the meat soaks up the vegetable oil too quickly, you can add a little more. Start with about 2 tablespoons, adding more if necessary.Don’t skip searing - it makes a world of difference. It takes just about 3 minutes per side until the beef is browned on all sides.Make sure not to overcrowd the pot when searing or your beef won’t properly brown. Brown in batches if you need to.Naturally, release the pressure - don’t use a quick release. The natural release gives you the most tender beef.If the pressure hasn’t released after 20 minutes, let it continue to naturally release if you have the time. If you’re in a hurry, quickly release any remaining pressure.
Beef Stew Variations
Spicy Tomato: Add a little kick by adding fire-roasted tomatoes. This is such a fun twist that adds great flavor. Spices: You can experiment with the taste by adding different spices. Almost any combination of flavors that you love will work well in this stew. I like trying oregano, basil, rosemary, dried parsley, paprika, cayenne pepper, celery seed and onion powder to make a beef stew seasoning mix. Vegetables: For some extra veggies, I like to add potatoes, stalks of celery, mushrooms, green beans, and frozen corn. Try my favorite recipe for Vegetable Beef Stew in the Slow Cooker.
Beef Stew with Red Wine Substitutions
You can use chuck roast, bottom round roast or stew meat already cut for you. We prefer sea salt for seasoning beef for its coarser texture. If you don’t have sea salt or would prefer, you can use regular salt.Instead of red wine, you can use more beef broth or red wine vinegar.
