Instant Pot Beef Stew

Step 1

Toss beef with garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Step 2

Turn a 6-quart Instant Pot to sauté and add half of the olive oil. Brown half of the beef, about 3-5 minutes, don’t stir too much so you get a nice crust. Repeat with remaining beef.

Step 3

Add broth, wine, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, and vegetables except peas (ensure ingredients do not go above fill line). Secure lid and select Meat/Stew; cook on high pressure 35 minutes.

Step 4

Once the timer beeps, allow for a natural-release for about 15 minutes. Release any remaining pressure.

Step 5

Remove lid and turn to sauté bringing broth to a boil.

Step 6

Create a slurry by combining cornstarch and water in a small bowl or cup.

Step 7

Once the broth is simmering, stir in the cornstarch to reach desired consistency (you may not need all of it). Allow to simmer 2-3 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.

Step 8

Stir in peas and serve.
