Instant Pot Beef Stew
I prepared this Gluten Free Beef Stew the other night for our combining crew. We had 3 combines out (2 from our neighbors) trying to help us get our Canola out of the field. A harsh winter storm was supposed to be coming in, and we had several hundred acres left to finish up still. Because it was already such a cold day, my husband recommended I make some beef stew. Never before had I actually made a beef stew completely from scratch, without following SOME sort of recipe. Lately I’ve been really enjoying coming up with recipes with my own spin on them. So as I threw this together in a hurry, I tried my best to right down the ingredients and amounts as I went.
Thankfully it turned out really well! So I knew I wanted to share it. It was quick and easy to prepare. Cozy, warm and perfect to fill the belly’s of the hungry crew that so graciously were helping us. Sure enough, by the time we made it out to the field to deliver the food, the wind was whipping so hard! It was blowing our Canola swath’s around the field! The crew really appreciated having this warm Beef Stew served up with Garlic Bread, to fill them up.
The beef I used for this meal was typical stew meat. However I cut each piece into 3 smaller pieces so it would cook faster, and go further.
Take note of the additional notes at the bottom of the recipe. You can really choose how thick you want it, by adding more or less cornstarch or gluten free flour.
This hearty Beef Stew made in the Instant Pot is the perfect fall/winter dish to cozy up with. One dish cleanup, and quick to prepare. Toss extra's into the freezer for another night! Serve with warm buns or garlic bread. 1.) Your Pressure Cooker will come to pressure faster if your liquids are warm: meaning if you are using beef broth warming it up first slightly in microwave, or using powder beef broth and hot water will accelerate the cooking process. The faster the unit comes to pressure: the faster your cooking timer will begin counting down. 2.) If you are using Thrive Foods; no need to rehydrate the vegetables first. Add 1C extra water, and then simply toss the vegetables into the pot dry, stir to incorporate them into the beef broth. Continue to cook as normal according to directions above.

If you do not have an instant pot yet, but are in the market for one, I have a guide that covers MY favourite pressure cooker. The Ninja Foodi TenderCrisp. In my opinion, it is the BEST kitchen tool I Own. I use it almost EVERY night of the week. It is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, dehydrater, air crisper, and SO MUCH MORE.
