Instant Pot Beef Stew
Description
The Instant Pot Beef Stew recipe layers stew meat and diced potatoes at the bottom of the pot, topped by chopped onions and carrots. Crushed canned tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, water, salt, and pepper are poured over the ingredients before sealing and cooking at high pressure for 20 minutes. After a quick pressure release, the stew is ready to rest briefly before serving.
The cooking technique tenderizes the beef while infusing the broth with tomato acidity and the rich savoriness of Worcestershire sauce. Vegetables maintain shape and soften appropriately due to the short but effective cooking time. The resulting stew is hearty with a balance of meat flavor and mild seasoning.
Serve the stew warm as a satisfying main dish, pairing well with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal. Leftover stew keeps well in a sealed container refrigerated for up to five days, allowing convenient reheating.
