Instructions
- Season stew meat with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning
- Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
- When oil starts to sizzle, brown the meat on all sides. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a bowl, but leave as much liquid as possible in the pot.
- Add garlic, onions, carrots and celery to the pot. Continue to sauté for 3-4 minutes (if it gets too dry, add additional
1 tbsp of olive oil) - Add beef broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add beef back to the pot along with Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce and potatoes.
- Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
- Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- buttons and program the Instant Pot for 30 minutes.
- When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
- Mix together the cornstarch with
2 tbsp cold water in a small bowl and stir into the stew until thickened.
Recipe Notes
*If your Instant Pot does not have a MANUAL function, use the Pressure Cook function.
