I do natural release never quick because then the meat gets tough. I let it rest for 1 hr and it turns out so tender but that's just how I do it

Instead of using cornstarch, you can prepare about a third cup cooked black beans, and mash them with a fork, then add into the stew for thickener that adds nutrition and flavor

I have made this beef stew several times and it’s always amazing! I use 2.5 cups of beef broth and a cup of good red wine

Finally, IP recipes from someone who knows how to season foods! Keep them coming!

That shot with the beef stew being placed on the french bread. *Homer Simpson drool*

Fantastic. Making it with tough Denver steaks. Well, it turned out great! This is a fantastic base recipe for stew. Instead of using cornstarch to thicken, I used half a pack of white pepper gravy, and a cup of water stirred together, and added them to the stew which worked nicely. I added more seasonings as my guy can’t have fresh onion and garlic. This is the best I have ever made in my life. The steaks got soft and tender. They had been in the freezer for a while, and it worked out beautifully. After venting I left my instant pot on warm for a couple hours, and it just made everything better.

I made this yesterday and added frozen green peas after the pressure cook. It was wonderful, thank you so much! You're right, the Instant Pot is the way to go for the right consistency! Thanks!!

Oh ye im a little dude finally independent learning to cook for my future wife. Added this bad boy to my list of skills tonight.

I just made this tonight and LORD this is one of the best meals I’ve ever cooked 😋😋😋😋

I really like the way you made that beef stew and you didn't add all this other kind of stuff in just a plain beef stew that is solid other people are just like putting this and that and this and that in it thanks for the help 🙏❤️🙏

Very well presented by process, pictures, and sound. In other words: Well produced! I will give it a try.

I just made this tonight, it was the best beef stew I have ever had! My teenager doesn’t like beef stew and he asked for seconds! Thanks for the recipe!

This has changed the way we eat. It's easier to use than I thought it would be.

I’ve made this recipe over and over again! Just now barley commenting… but honestly to let you know this is the BEST beef stew you will have in your LIFE!!!! I tend to like to add a good amount of veggies. Sometimes while trying to pressure cook it will show burn food continuously stopping the cooking process. Until you check the stew taking the lid off maybe scrap the bottom the browning from cooking the meat. Which is challenging with everything added in already. Tonight after browning meat I scraped off all the bottom then added the celery and so on. The insta pot hasn’t gone off beeping showing burn food. It also came up to pressure fairly quickly. I would definitely recommend. It is definitely has hassle having to stop the cooking process not doing so

We substituted a half cup of dry red wine and then only 3 cups of water for the liquid. This really enhanced the flavor. If you like mushrooms, we also added some chopped portabellas with the carrotts and potatoes.

Yum! And thank you for expressing the importance of good meat browning. It’s so important for a good, rich stew.

THANK YOU! Finally, someone who knows how to cook teaching about the Instant Pot. You definitely understood the assignment. I’ve just bought an Instant Pot and have been watching dozens of videos where the ‘cooks’ have been dumping in a tonne of raw meat into vast amounts of liquid - no fond, no flavour. Other ‘cooks’ were just dumping packets of different pre-packaged food and calling it a meal. You have restored my faith SMC, I nearly gave up looking at videos to learn how to use this machine. I brought this machine to speed up my cooking from scratch so that I can hopefully get a stew or pulled lamb shoulder or pulled pork without preparing a day or two in advance. I will checking out your other videos now and subscribing. You recused me from despondency. 😊👩‍🍳🥘

I’ve just made this as my first recipe in the instant pot, and the only change I made was to deglaze with a glug of red wine (that I cooked off) before adding the stock. It’s genuinely the best beef stew I’ve ever made, and I count myself as a pretty good cook. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

Made this recipe tonight for my and my fam. We all loved it! Personally, I always browned the entire roast first but I gave this method a try. I didn’t notice much of a flavor or texture difference so I’ll probably stick to browning the entire piece of beef to save time next time. The slurry is a MUST for a true stew consistency. 10/10

I love garlic bread with my beef stew. My family thinks that it's weird. I think they're weird.

"You know what?" That 'Instant Pot' is an amazing cooking tool. I like to know more of that 'Instant Pot'.

That was THE BEST Recipe!! It looked beautiful and delicious! The toast addition really nice.

Just finished having this and so simple and so good..! Made it with elk venison and it was wonderful..!

The best beef stew I have ever tasted since my trip to Ireland!! They serve their Irish stew and beef stews over mashed potatoes,,instead of putting them in the stew. Very delicious!

That Lady can Cook ! I just got one for Christmas , and finished the Test Run ! I'm ready.

Thank you for the recipe ! It comes out so good , my husband loves the taste of this . It will be my staple recipe ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, this was so easy to follow and turned out amazing!!! I did add paprika and cumin and chili flakes because i couldn't help myself!

Just cooked this last night and holy crap it is so delicious! I followed the recipe exact. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Thank you for all these instant pot recipes.

What a mouth watering beef stew prep video . The toasted buttered (maybe garlic) French bread is an excellent unique idea.

oh my my particularly on that bread 😍

Thank you so much for using imperial AND metric measurements!!! You made my day. This video is so easy to follow and the result is very delicious.

I loved your step by step instructions. 1st time I used the Insta pot and the beef stew was so delicious . I will be forever grateful for this recipe. Thanks

Thank you so much! I've had my Instant Pot for two years and just learned how to make pinto beans! My son has been wanting some beef stew for a long time, and now I can do it for him! I'll let you know how it works out!

Just made it! Absolutely amazing. 💯 I didn't have cornstarch so I took some broth and mixed in 2tbs of flour. Worked well.

Just finished this recipe, wanted to say this was a great IP meal. My GF and I loved it!

Thanks, I switched the ingredients and cooking process around a little bit, but followed your basic structure, and just enjoyed a wonderful beef stew. My first meal made using my new instant pot. Love it. Thanks again for inspiring me.

I followed this one exactly because it looked so good. Wow! Perfectly seasoned! Well balanced! This one is a keeper! Thank you! Looking forward to trying your other recipes!

This is IMHO, the best Instant pot stew recipe. Thank you and God bless. 🕊

This is so good! Please leave it up on KZfaq. I need it again for next time. I still depend on making it with you as I watch the video!

I made this tonight for dinner and it was a huge hit! Delicious! 💯👍👍

This looks so wonderful. I always like my stew on the thicker side. I will make this on Sunday.

Thanks for the recipe! I am a very novice cook but have this in the pot now :)

Making this today for the second time, as the first time was a delicious hit with me and my wife. My only change is that I deglaze the fond with 1/2 cup of red wine, then follow with beef broth made from beef soup base I keep in the fridge. It’s so handy when I only need a cup or two of broth for a recipe. Thanks for sharing this with us! ❤️❤️

beef stew over rice is the best but I love this recipe!

I love this beef stew recipe! I made it once and it became my family’s favorite dish! I’ve been making this dish for couple of years now. Thank you so much! God Bless you always and forever.🥰❤️

Omg... this looks delicious and super easy tio make with this crockpot. I'm going tio have to buy me one tomorrow. I'm definitely going to make this. Thank you so much for the recipe!

I had never made beef stew before, and my pressure cooker was just sitting on my shelf just getting dusty . Your recipe was so easy to follow and I am happy to say I have now made it 3x. My hubby & son absolutely love it!!!

Hands down, the BEST beef stew I’ve EVER had!!! (And I’m OLD). The beef Chuck roast I cut up was SO tender. Fabulous, Thank you! 😊

I just got my Instant Pot Mini for myself from Amazon today. I watched your video twice, made notes of all of the ingredients. Went out to buy them. Watched your video again to get the cooking process in order....and this has been the best stew I have every tasted! The beef chuck tenderizes, shreds and melts in your mouth. The veggies are soft and super flavourful. The soup that becomes sauce when you add the cornstarch and cold water mixture, seals the deal as it's almost gravy like. Every mouthful is so rich and full of flavour. Excellent recipe you have created! This will become one of my meals that I cook for my friends and family for them to enjoy.

Made it for dinner last night and everyone loved it! Great Recipe!!!

Please make more instant pot recipes!! :) This was so delicious

Excellent recipe and using it all the time.

Back at it again with the instant pot! Love it Angelica. I gotta try this for my family. 💙

That stew looks good. She sounds so peaceful. Makes me want to eat and take a nap. I mean a good nap too

I love what you did at the end pouring all that goodness on top of your toasted french bread! Making this tonite. Thanks for sharing! ❤️😋🤌

We tried this tonight. Loved it. We used a little red wine in place of some of the water or beef stock, and we also added a can of golden mushroom soup when we added the meat and liquid. It was super delicious. Thank you for this video! Everyone can make changes as needed, but this was a fantastic way to do it.

This is an ideal meal for a new to cooking adult male. Simple and clearly explained, even I garnered surprised praise sharing with an astonished first date. Easily adapted to making larger portions and freezing for future meals. Thanks endlessly for sharing this great dish.

I made it for my husband for Father's Day and he looooved it. Thanks a lot!

Putting it on that nice piece of bread is GENIUS. Can't wait to do that.

I had been looking for a good beef stew recipe. After watching like 5-6 videos I found yours. Loved how easy you made it look so I gave it try a few weeks ago. It was delicious! We have a winter storm approaching tonight so back watching your vid again today. What better way to spend the next 3 days stuck inside with a warm bowl of beef stew? My family thanks you!

I just made this and it is very good! I used better than bullion beef bullion and added 2 cups of frozen green peas right before the corn starch slury. Its flavor isn't too overwhelming for a small child, the adults in my house opted to add a few dashes of hot sauce for a lil heat. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

instant pop is amazing meals quick and easy and stress free

This recipe is the first one I've tried with my new Instant Pot and it turned out PERFECT - the meat is at my dream tenderness omg it's so good!!

BLESS YOU for posting this!!! I've only made Beef Stew with my old top-of-the-stove pressure cooker and I was feeling helpless!!! Thank you soooo much!!!

I can't wait to try this!

Can't wait to try this. Thank you!

Trying now. Thank you for your help, I hope it tastes as good as it looks!! 35 minutes to go!

Excellent presentation! Never thought of serving stew on top of toasted French bread! It looks yummy!

That is what I needed. A beginning course. You the best. God Bless you and family

Okay this is my second time using this recipe. So easy and tastes great! My husband likes it too especially as a comfort food on cold winter days. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice. I pretty much make mine the same way. I do like that you use four on the beef and brown it up nice. Looks scrumptious

Thank you for this. I can almost smell it. yummmm

This looks so delicious and hearty. I like to serve my stew over steamed white rice but I’m definitely going to try the bread option. I love the comfort food, stick to your ribs kind of meals!! 😋

I made this last night for my partner and I, and while I couldn't taste much of it (sinus issues) the boyfriend was very happy. I did have to make a few moderations based on what I had. For instance, I used ketchup instead of tomato paste, and fish sauce in replace of worchestershire sauce. I also omitted bay leaves as I didn't have any, and used corn starch in replace of flour for the beef coating. It still got a good review!

That looks amazing. Thanks for the video. I will definitely try it.

Thank you ~ the stew will be nice on a cold day & delicious 😋

I love. Beef. Stew. I always. Cook it. In. My. Instant. Pot

I found your video a few hours ago. Just happened to have beef stew on my menu for tonight. Made it exactly according to your recipe. Ingredients I already had. It's cooking in my instant pot now. Can't wait to dig in! Thanks!

I love your recipes. Your stew recipe saved my cookies. I forgot to start it a couple hours earlier. You made it look so easy. I tried it and it was that easy! Thank you so much. Please keep those recipes coming

I am blown away!!! Just got an instant pot I can’t wait🤩🤩🤩

Thank you for the recipe very tasty, I hunt for it every time I want to make stew.

I just ordered my Instant Pot today and I already decided that I’m going to make this beef stew to inagurate it!!! Thanks a million! It sounds really easy! ♥️🌹

I tried this recipe yesterday and it turned out beautifully. Had to make some adjustments but it was still equally tasty. This is easily a favorite. Thank you for the clean and crisp audio. It was easy to follow along on my phone.

I made this stew today. My only changes was I added 16oz sliced mushrooms and I used mushroom broth. FABULOUS STEW!!! Zero leftovers. So long slow cooker beef stew.

This was the first meal I made in my IP about 8 months ago. And here I am today... I keep coming back to it! 😁 Thank you so much- your videos are lifesavers!!! 🙏🙌

Adding the French bread REALLY set this dish apart from others I have seen. Cant wait to try tomorrow

I made this tonight and it was a hit. I'm going to have to try it on top of toasted bread next time!

Thanks for bringing us this wonderful looking instant pot recipie. Instant pot is the way to go. Excellent tutorial

I’m ready to watch this video. It looks good already,.

Never ever expected it to turn out the way it did. It's simply delicious. I think I lost a quarter of the portion just repeatedly tasting it from the pot...Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

my mouth is watering!!!!!!

i just love you channel !!! I don't even have a Instapot but still watch every video...... Im that person that hits your like button, before I even watch it.... cuz I know I will love it

I got a new insta pot for Christmas . Today was my first time trying it and I made this pot of stew . OMG !! It turned out way beyond my expectations . Thank you so much for the directions . I am very impressed .

I literally just came from the grocery store to make beef stew on my instapot i hot for Christmas. I waa hoing to use another recipe but then yours popped up. I just finished cooking it (my granddaughter wantes Jiffy cornbread with it) and it is absolutely delicious!! Thank you!!

I’m making it now.......Can’t wait! 😃

Golly that looks good!

I just made your recipe but with a few tweaks of my own. Instead of 3.5 cups of broth I did 3 cups of broth and .5 cup of Cabernet Sauvignon, added in 1 cup of frozen peas, and when I coated the meat I added in also 1tsp of celery salt and 1tsp of garlic salt and reduced the amount of regular salt, and I didn’t put in celery (because I didn’t have it, which is why I used celery salt lol). Turned out awesome. Thank you for the recipe. I’m definitely saving it for next time I make beef stew :)

First recipe I made with my instapot. I threw in some peas when it was all done cooking. Awesome recipe!

I just made this stew for tonight's Sunday supper. Waiting for the pressure to let off now. I can't wait to taste this!
