You’ll love the rich, deep flavor of this Italian Beef Stew and the how quick and easy it is to make in your Instant Pot.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This stew is delicious and hearty, full of meat, carrots, and potatoes. Using the Instant Pot, the stew comes out perfectly cooked, the carrots and potatoes weren’t too mushy, they were just right and the flavor was deep and rich.
One of the great things about the Instant Pot is that you can use the sauté feature and brown the meat before adding the other ingredients.  No need to dirty another pan.

How to Make Italian Beef Stew in an Instant Pot

- Once the pressure has released, open the steam valve and open the lid carefully.

Tips and Tricks
- Instead of removing the herbs from the stems, Â I put the whole springs right into the pressure cooker. Â Just remove the stems from the stew before serving.
- If you don’t have an instant pot, you can use this recipe in your regular slow cooker too.

First recipe made with my Insta Pot. My husband loved it. I think it was a little strong on the vinegar. Making it again with 1/4 cup of balsamic.
