Instant Pot Hearty Beef Stew Recipe
Try this recipe just as is, or if desired substitute a half to 1 cup of red wine for beef broth. I also like mushrooms in my beef stew as another option.

Nutrition
Cut carrots into equal slices, or if you need the fast way like me, buy a bag of pre-cut carrot chips.
Many types of potatoes will work in this recipe, but red is my favorite since they don’t have to be peeled.
Brown meat on “saute” setting, then add vegetables.
Set the Instant Pot to “Meat/Stew” or Manual for 30 minutes. Keep in mind the machine takes about 15 minutes to come to pressure before the 30 minute count down begins, then plan an additional 15 minutes to allow for natural release.
Savor and enjoy!
