Ingredients

  • 2½ lbs beef stew meat
  • salt and pepper
  • 2½ tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2½ cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1 bag pearl onions (approx 8-10oz)
  • 8 oz mushrooms halved
  • 1 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 2 carrots chopped roughly

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, mix together your stew beef, flour, salt (lightly!), and pepper.
  2. Set your Instant Pot to sauté - low. Add your butter and lightly brown your beef. It doesn't have to be cooked all the way through, just browned. Do so in two batches to not overcrowd the pot.
  3. Add into the Instant Pot 2½ cups of beef broth/stock (deglaze the pot if you have to, to avoid any brown bits from browning the beef from burning), Worcestershire sauce, soy/tamari sauce, garlic, brown sugar, tomato paste, and rosemary.
  4. Add in the potatoes, onions, carrots, and mushrooms. 
  5. Close the Instant Pot lid, close the steam valve, and set the Instant Pot to Meat/Stew or Pressure Cook for 35 minutes on High.
  6. Once done, either let the Instant Pot naturally release or quick release the lid. Serve while warm. (Optional parsley for garnish)

Notes

  • It could take up to 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to build up pressure.

  • If you notice that your stew is a bit too liquidly, the stew should thicken a bit once it cools. If it doesn't, you can add a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch with one tablespoon of cold water, stir to combine, then add the thickening mixture back into the pot before simmering to thicken.
