How to Make Instant Pot Italian Beef Stew
This Instant Pot Italian Beef Stew is a cinch to make. Just a couple of simple steps and a few basic ingredients.
Step 1: Saute
To begin, press the “Sauté” button on your Instant Pot. Wait for the display to read “Hot” then add olive oil, diced onions, minced garlic, and the beef to the pot.
Cook until the meat is seared on all sides. Then press “Cancel” to turn off the pot.
Step 2: Add Remaining Ingredients
Next, add 4 carrots sliced into coins and 3 stalks of celery chopped into bite-sized pieces.
To with about 10 small red potatoes that have been quartered.
Drain the liquid from two cans of stewed tomatoes, then add the tomatoes to the pot.
Add 4 cups of beef broth and 2 cups of water. Don’t fill past the max fill line on the liner. Sprinkle in 2 teaspoons each of salt and pepper. Also add 3 sprigs of oregano and some basil leaves.
Stir the ingredients, then secure the lid and set the valve to sealing.
Step 3: Pressure Cook
Cook on high pressure (for most models, you’ll press the “Manual” button) for 20 minutes. When the pot beeps to indicate the cook time has ended, do a controlled quick release.
In other words, gently move the valve slightly towards venting. If it starts to spray liquid, move it back toward sealing and wait a minute.
When the pressure has fully released, carefully remove the lid and serve!
