Beef Stew represents the ultimate cold weather comfort food. After all, it’s warm and filling, perfectly rich and meaty. Stew is easy because it cooks on the stove or in a slow cooker all day.
1. Set the Instant Pot to saute. Add the olive oil. Once the pot reaches temperature (mine days HOT), add the stew meat and brown for 2 minutes on each side.
2. Stir beef and onion together. Add beef broth to the pot to deglaze it, stiring until the bottom until it is smooth and clear of the fond. Twist on lid, close sealing valve, press cancel, and set for 25 minutes at high pressure.
