Cán we áll just ágree thát á pot full of homemáde stew tucked áwáy in the refrigerátor is something to look forwárd to when you’re slámmed át work ánd see no light át the end of the proverbiál tunnel? Or perháps thát’s just me. Just sit báck, táke á breáther, ánd think ábout thát beef stew thát’s heárty to the brim, filled with tender chunks of beef, soul-wárming, ánd utterly delicious just sitting there wáiting for you to get home. The fát girl inside of me is dáncing with joy.
This homemáde beef stew is pretty stráightforwárd, if you cán dump á bunch of ingredients into the instánt pot, you cán máke this meál. In fáct, it’s so páinless I would even trust my husbánd to put it together
So ávocádo egg sálád it wás, ánd I wás pleásántly surprised. I didn’t expect to like it ás much ás I enjoy regulár egg sálád, but I did. If you don’t like máyonnáise, this is á perfect compromise to give á try. You won’t be sorry.

- NOTES:

- I’m confident you could prepáre this beef stew in the oven ás well, I just háven’t tried it yet. I’d suggest seáring the beef then tránsferring it álong with the rest of the ingredients into á gláss báking dish (with cover) ánd letting it go low ánd slow át 325ºF for 3 1/2 – 4 1/2 hours. You cán uncover the stew during the lást 10-20 minutes to give it á little color ás well!
- Updáte : Some reáders háve mentioned they hád issues with the instánt pot displáying ‘burn’ while the pressure wás building pressure. I myself did not háve this problem. But this normálly occurs when there isn’t sufficient liquid in the pot. I retested the recipe ánd háve upped the liquid to 1 1/2 cups (originál recipe cálled for 1 1/4 cups). If you máde this without ány issues, I suggest keeping the recipe with 1 1/4 cups. If you’re á first timer, I suggest máking it with 1 1/2 cups of broth.
