This Instant Pot beef stew is incredibly easy to make, takes only 20 minutes of active cooking (then leave everything else to the Instant Pot!), and most importantly, it tastes AMAZING, just like classic beef stew! It's going to be the only way you'll ever want to make beef stew ever again! Plus, it's gluten free and a great one-pot weekday meal you throw together with plenty of leftovers for later. Enjoy this bowl of comfort by itself or with a piece of focaccia to soak it all up!
