Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Stew is full of cozy flavor, nurturing ingredients, and is just what you need for a Sunday dinner. Toss it into the Instant Pot or Slow Cooker for ultimate ease!

This cozy Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Stew is just what you need for one of those stay-inside-all-day kind of week. And that is the reality of our current situation. Hunkered down and forced to slow down our lives a little bit.

Vegetable Beef Stew is one of those dishes that every home cook needs in their repertoire. This particular version smells and tastes like pure comfort. Hearty enough to fill the hungriest of bellies, yet still light enough to make you feel good about your nutritious dinner decision.

Let’s get right into it!

How to make Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Stew

Versatility is the name of the game when it comes to vegetable beef stew. Don’t like a particular vegetable in this list or can’t find it your fridge or pantry? Leave it out or swap in another!

Ingredients:

  • Chuck roast, stew meat, or top sirloin
  • yellow onion
  • garlic cloves
  • tapioca starch, arrowroot starch, or
  • frozen peas
  • can of diced tomatoes
  • carrots
  • russet potatoes
  • celery
  • beef stock
  • red wine if you want to get fancy (drink the remaining bottle with your stew!)
  • red wine vinegar
  • coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • dried oregano
  • smoked paprika
  • salt and pepper
  • fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for garnish

Directions:

We start by sautéing the beef in the Instant Pot, to give it a more robust flavor. Toss in the garlic and onion, then add the starch.

Toss in the remaining vegetables, the wine, broth, vinegar, spices, and seal the lid. Select the meat/stew function and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. Use a natural release for 15 minutes, then release any remaining steam.

Serve hot with chopped fresh herbs!

For the Slow Cooker:

You can also make this in the slow cooker. Brown the meat on the stovetop with the onion and garlic. Stir in the starch to coat. Transfer to the slow cooker, then add the remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 8 hours.

Serving/Storing/Freezing/Re-heating:

Serve: with crusty bread or salad. My favorite go-to is this simple Salad with dijon vinaigrette!

Store: in the fridge for up to one week. The flavor gets better after the first day!

Freeze: for up to 3 months in an air tight container.

Re-heat: On the stovetop at medium low, adding in additional broth if needed.

    Made this for tonight’s dinner – used the crockpot because I was doubling the recipe. Good thing – because it was even more than my 7.5 quart crockpot could handle! I left some of the broth out, and added it back at the end. Anyway, the taste is AMAZING. It has so much flavor. Everyone loved it and I am so glad we have enough for another meal. Thanks for the great recipe!

    What are your cooking instructions for a slow cooker? I don’t own an instant pot, yet and would like to make this recipe next weekend. Thank you in advance for your help. BTW, this recipe sounds delicious! It’s going to be my cheat dish for my low carb diet that I’m doing right now.
