This recipe promises a hearty and flavorful stew that's simple to prepare in your Instant Pot.
Begin by searing the beef stew meat in olive oil until it's browned on all sides. This step adds depth of flavor to your stew.
Sauté onions and garlic in the Instant Pot until they become fragrant and translucent.
Stir in tomato paste and flour to create a roux that will thicken the stew.
If using, pour in red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom.
Add the browned beef, potatoes, carrots, bay leaves, thyme, and beef broth to the Instant Pot. Season with salt and pepper.
Seal the Instant Pot and set it to pressure cook for a specified time to ensure your stew is perfectly tender.
