This hearty and comforting Instant Pot Beef Stew is prepared in a fraction of the time by utilizing the speed and convenience of your pressure cooker.

What I love about this recipe is that it tastes just like it has slow cooked for hours, but everything is done (from start to finish) in a little over an hour. A total SCORE for busy weeknights!

Beef stew is the ultimate comfort food and the leftovers (if you're lucky enough to have any!) are delicious.

I normally enjoy it with French bread, but also love it served over mashed potatoes or rice when I'm seriously craving a hearty meal!

How long does it take to cook beef stew in the Instant Pot?

The time to cook in a pressure cooker can be deceiving. This recipe takes a grand total of approximately 1 hour 12 minutes which includes prep time, the time it takes the pot to come to pressure, total cook time and natural pressure release time.

How to Make it

1. First you'll brown the beef in olive oil using the saute function and transfer to a plate.
2. Cook celery, onions and garlic, then add beef broth, browning sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar and herbs.
3. Return browned beef to pot and add carrots and potatoes. Cook at high pressure for 25 minutes.
4. Natural release pressure for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure. Add a simple cornstarch slurry and peas, stir to combine and cook until broth is thickened (using the saute function).

Enjoy!
