Make in 6-quart Instant Pot
Servings: 10 to 12 servings
Servings: 10 - 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ½ inch cube beef stew meat
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ small coarsely chopped onions
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 6 cups beef broth, divided
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- 2 teaspoons Herbs de Provence
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 5 red potatoes cut to ½ to ¾-inch cubes
- 2 large chopped carrots or 8 chopped baby carrots
- 1 small sweet potato cut to ¾-inch cubes (optional)
- 4 to 6 tablespoons of cornstarch
- subheading: Added veggies (1 to 2 cups total, not each!):
- Mixed veggies
- Peas
- Rough chopped cabbage
- Rinsed and drained small red or kidney beans
Steps
- Trim and cut stew meat into bite sized pieces. Spread on plate and sprinkle with seasoned salt.
- Turn on Instant Pot. Set to Saute, High. Heat olive oil and brown meat on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. When done add the onion and garlic and continue saute until onions are translucent about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Turn pot off. Add broth, reserving out ½ cup, and remaining ingredients except added veggies.
- Turn pot on manual, high pressure and set for 8 minutes. When done allow NPR, 10 minutes minimum. Then QR any remaining steam.
- When safe, remove top and add vegetables. Set pot to Manual, 0 minutes. When done, NPR 5 minutes then QR any remaining steam.
- Set pot to Saute. Mix 4 tablespoons cornstarch with ½ cup of liquid from pot. When pot comes to a boil add cornstarch mixture to pot and stir continuously for 2 minutes to thicken.
- If thicker stew is needed mix additional tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons liquid from pot, return mixture to pot, set pot to saute and boil for 2 minutes minimum.
- Turn pot off or set to Keep Warm.
Notes
- To turn this into a soup, you could probably (I've not tested this) add a couple cups of beef broth and leave out the cornstarch mixture?
