Instant Pot Guinness beef stew
Description
Instant Pot Guinness beef stew uses stewing cuts of beef browned to build flavor, then slow-cooked with finely chopped onions, carrots, celery, garlic, rosemary, bay leaf, and tomato paste. The addition of Worcestershire sauce and Guinness stout intensifies the broth, giving it a robust and slightly bitter character typical of this style. The beef stock complements the stout, creating a layered base for the stew.
The cooking occurs in two phases: the meat setting cooks the beef and vegetables under pressure for 30 minutes, followed by adding peeled and large-chunked potatoes with a further 10 minutes of high-pressure cooking. After releasing pressure, the stew simmers to thicken, incorporating a flour and water slurry to achieve a thicker consistency. Seasoning with salt and black pepper completes the dish.
Served hot, this beef stew provides a filling dish with tender meat and hearty vegetables, ideal for satisfying dinners especially in colder weather. The controlled pressure cooking method helps develop tender meat quickly without losing depth in flavor.
