What Is Beef Stew?

A hearty, warm and comforting dish perfect for the cold winter months. Beef Stew is traditionally made with vegetables like potatoes, carrots and celery that are slow-cooked in a flavorful broth along with beef chunks until they're tender enough to be cut with a spoon.

In France there is a very common dish called Beef Bourguignon that is a take on teh American version of Beef Stew.

Saute Vegetables For Beef Stew In Instant Pot

Then add the carrots, onions, and seasonings to the Instant Pot. Saute' until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes; remember to keep on mixing, so it doesn't stick.

Then mix in the flour, and coat the vegetables.

Then add the beef broth and potatoes and add back the meat.
NOTE: This is important (YOU MUST scrape the bottom off the pan. Otherwise, you might get a BURN light, which means something is stuck at the bottom and it's reaching too high of a temperature)

Set the manual high pressure for 35 minutes. When the timer beeps, do a natural release.

Then when all of the pressure is released, take your lid off and then mix and ladle and serve.

WHAT TYPE OF MEAT IS BEST FOR BEEF STEW?

The most tender beef that is recommended for beef stew is chuck. It's a great choice for beef stew since it's rather inexpensive meat.

Since the chuck starts as tough meat, the meat starts to break down during the cooking process, causing your beef stew to be flavorful and delicious.

HOW TO STORE INSTANT POT BEEF STEW

If you have any leftover Beef Stew, let it cool to room temperature and place it into an airtight container. Place the container into the refrigerator, where it should last for about 2 to 3 days.

To Reheat Instant Pot Beef Stew: To heat the leftover Instant Pot Beef Stew, you can either place it into a saucepan or microwave the soup until warmed through.

HOW TO FREEZE

This is a great make-ahead and freezer-friendly soup. To freeze, let it cool to room temperature, and then place into a freezer bag or a freezer-safe container.

To Use From Frozen: Take the frozen soup from the freezer, and place it into the refrigerator. It should thaw overnight.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH BEEF STEW

This is a great meal on its own since it has beef, potatoes, and vegetables.

I usually serve it with a few Air Fryer Biscuits or a side of Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes. It also goes great with a huge Garden Salad.

HOW TO THICKEN BEEF STEW

You can easily add a cornstarch slurry to the stew if you want a thicker beef stew. However, it's totally not necessary.

To Thicken with a cornstarch slurry, which is equal parts cornstarch and water. Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water into a small bowl.

You never want to add them directly to the Instant Pot bowl; you want to mix them.

Mix the cornstarch and water well, and then pour into the Instant Pot bowl. Mix well. Let it simmer for about a minute or two until fully dissolved.

WHAT IS THE MEAT/STEW SETTING ON THE INSTANT POT?

Depending on which Instant Pot model you own, you may or may not have a Meat/Stew setting.

If you have one, you can certainly use it. Instant Pot is best used when you have large chunks of meat and want to keep them tender.
