Instant Pot Beef Stew
Stay warm and cozy this winter with this Instant Pot Beef Stew! It’s paleo, gluten free, and whole30-friendly! It’s such a hearty, filling, and tender stew!

We don’t turn on our heat on in the winter. We haven’t needed to. Every winter we’ve gotten by with an extra layer and a throw blanket to stay warm and cozy. Plus, it’s really sunny here. It’s a far cry from what our winters used to look like.

Instant Pot Beef Stew

This is the first year that I actually thought heat may be a good idea. Even with my extra layer I want more warmth. I think I may actually turn that knob to kickstart the heater.

But first, before I cave I’m going to make a lineup of soups and stews. I love a hearty stew that warms you from the inside. So today I’m sharing this flavorful veggie packed beef stew that can be made in your Instant Pot!!! Sayy whaaa?

Instant Pot Beef Stew

So many of you are loving your Instant Pot, so I’m so pumped to give you as many Instant Pot recipes as I can. Try these Chicken Zoodle Soup, Bruschetta Chicken, and Beef & Broccoli Spiralized Sweet Potato Noodles recipes that can ALL be made in your Instant Pot!

So let’s get started and make this delicious Instant Pot Beef Stew! It’ll keep you warm and fuzzy ALL winter long.

Instant Pot Beef Stew

Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté for 10 minutes and add the butter or ghee and the beef.

Allow the beef to brown, stirring occasionally, while you chop the onion, carrots, celery, potatoes and garlic.

When the Sauté cycle finishes, add all of the ingredients to the Instant Pot. Attach the lid and set the knob to Sealing.

Instant Pot Beef Stew

Select the Meat/Stew and set the timer for 17 minutes.

When the cycle finishes, allow it to Naturally Release for 5 minutes before carefully preforming a Manual Release.

    This was delicious and easy recipe to follow. The addition of the balsamic was perfect as were all the veggies. Not sure if it was the potato’s or the instant pot cooking but I used yellow potato’s and they were so creamy and yummy. Going to be making this again. PS. lots of sauce left over so I saved it and will find another use for it!
