Instant Pot Beef Stew tastes like it’s been simmering away all day, but it’s done in a fraction of the time! It’s the perfect meal for a chilly evening or busy weekend.

We love Instant Pot recipes! Some of our favorites include Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup and Instant Pot Taco Soup

INSTANT POT BEEF STEW

Beef Stew is such a delicious, hearty stew, and it’s one that just about everyone loves. It normally takes so long, though! Normally, Beef Stew takes hours, either in the slow cooker or in the oven for the meat to get tender enough to enjoy.

In your Instant Pot though, it’s done in a fraction of the time! You can have an amazing stew on the table in no time, but it will taste like it’s been cooking all day!

CAN I DOUBLE THE RECIPE FOR INSTANT POT BEEF STEW?

As long as everything fits, you can! Remember that with a soup or stew, you should never fill your Instant Pot liner more than ⅔ full. This will allow the Instant Pot to come to pressure and prevent the steam valve from becoming clogged.

When you double an Instant Pot recipe, there is no need to increase the time. This is one of my favorite features! It will take a little bit more time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure, but the cooking time is the same.

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH INSTANT POT BEEF STEW?

This Instant Pot Beef Stew is a well-rounded meal in and of itself, so there’s really not much you need to make to accompany it! I will say that my Southern Cornbread Muffins go beautifully with it though, and they’re easy enough to whip up while the stew is cooking!

WILL INSTANT POT BEEF STEW FREEZE WELL?

You can freeze this stew, but I recommend keeping it in the refrigerator instead, as the potatoes can take on an odd texture and color when frozen and thawed. I doubt you’ll have leftovers to freeze though – it’s so good that your family will go back for seconds!

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
