An easy and hearty beef stew that was cooked perfectly in the Instant Pot. Great for dads who like hearty meals but don't want to spend hours cooking.
Ingredients: 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed. 1 cup baby carrots, chopped. 1 cup potatoes, diced. 1 cup celery, sliced. 1 onion, finely chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 2 cups beef broth. 1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes. 1/2 cup red wine. 2 tablespoons tomato paste. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. 1 teaspoon dried rosemary. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
Instructions: Season beef with salt and pepper, then coat with flour. Turn Instant Pot to saut mode and heat olive oil. Brown beef in batches until well-seared. Remove and set aside. Add onions and garlic to Instant Pot, saut until softened. Pour in red wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Return beef to the pot and add carrots, potatoes, celery, thyme, rosemary, beef broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir well. Close the Instant Pot lid and set to high pressure for 30 minutes. Once done, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot. Pair with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a satisfying meal.
