Instant Pot Beef Stew (without potatoes)
Description
This stew starts by cubing beef and mixing it with sliced garlic, chopped celery, onion, carrot, and parsnip, along with Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. After marinating briefly, the mixture is placed in an Instant Pot with beef broth.
The stew cooks under high pressure for 20 minutes, then slowly releases pressure allowing flavors to meld and the beef to become tender. After cooking, the stew is thickened with xanthan gum or cornstarch by sautéeing and simmering until the broth achieves desired thickness. The result is a hearty stew with tender meat and well-cooked vegetables infused with savory seasoning.
This stew serves well hot with garnishes such as fresh parsley. Storage notes indicate leftovers keep refrigerated for three days or frozen for up to three months, with thawing overnight recommended before reheating. Its lack of potatoes focuses on other root vegetables for texture and flavor.
