Instructions
 

Steps

  • Set Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat olive oil. Add beef chunks, searing on each side for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add onions and sauté until translucent. Add garlic; cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Deglaze the pot with a bit of beef broth, scraping up all browned bits.
  • Return beef to the pot with carrots, potatoes, rest of the broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  • Secure the lid and pressure cook on high for 35 minutes. Naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  • Set to sauté mode; if desired, mix in cornstarch slurry to thicken stew.

Notes

For a thicker stew, use cornstarch. Alternatively, you can enjoy it as a lighter broth-based stew.
