Instant Pot Beef Stew

Was fine. Hubby said it reminded him of Dinty Moore. Should add red wine next time. It needs some umph. Next time, don't add so much or any tom sauce. Too tomato-y for our family.

Flavor was good but 35 minutes is too long to cook as my potatoes were mush and the meat could hardly be found! Perhaps 15 minutes! I left the baby carrots whole so I could find the,m🤔

Really good

Easy to make. Instead of the 2.5 cups of broth though, I did 2 cups broth and half cup red wine to give it a little extra flavor. Meat wasn't as tender as I would have liked, but might have been the cut I bought. Will definitely make this again. Can't wait for the leftovers today.

Added about a cup of wine. To thicken used two heaping tbsp corn starch and a little less water.

I didn’t have tomato sauce so used crushed tomatoes instead. Delicious!

Cut potatoes into quarters -- cubed they were falling apart I doubled in a 6 qt pot but added half of the tomato sauce after cooking omitted the other half.

No corn starch needed.

It was great. I added chopped mushrooms, and more baby potatoes and carrots than the recipe called for. Also used about 900g of meat. I used tomato paste the previous round but skipped it this time which was the right move. I added in “the mix” and some ready made braai salt. Put in lime leaves as well for the aromatic flavour.

Add 1/2 cup of sherry

Family favorite. Flavorful. Easy to adjust with ingredients you have. Meat gets tender.

I also added zucchini and mushrooms. It was amazing, even with today's cheap cuts of meat. I used fresh basil, oregano, and thyme from my garden instead of the Italian seasoning. It was very good. Hubby loved it!

I love beef but due to medical issues I can't do tough meats. This makes the stew meat melt in your mouth. I now have my hubby check the discount bin for the cheap meat.

Removed tomato sauce and onions

My husband declared it the best stew he ever had. You can use petite diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce and add any extra veggies you have around. Very easy to make gluten free. Add some toasted Kim & Jake Peasant Loaf for extra yummy!

Wasn't a fan of the tomatoes as a base, I prefer a broth base for my stews. Otherwise it was good. My daughter loved it... tomato soup is also one her favs

I did a full natural release and it tasted good. Next time I would double the meat, there doesn't seem to be a lot

Added celery, red wine, mushrooms, and crushed red pepper.
