I’ve been obsessed with my Instant Pot lately, I love how it speeds up the cook time or dishes that usually take all day! Example: a frozen chicken breast is cooked in 20 minutes! It’s awesome. I bought my Instant Pot on Amazon on Prime Day, to be honest, I never wanted one. I did it because I knew that you guys may appreciate a few Instant Pot recipes since they’re huge! I never thought I would fall in love with this appliance, but here we are…
So with all that said, I wanted to do an Instant Pot Beef Stew recipe for all you Instant Potters. What I did as take the Crockpot Beef Stew recipe that I grew up on and altered it a tiny bit.

The results? A no-fuss beef stew recipe that tastes like it took hours to create. You get the slow roasted, meat falling apart, that you do from eight hours in the slow cooker in an hour with the Instant Pot.
TBK’s Pro Tip: Salt the stew cubes, and let them sit for 20-30 minutes. Then pat dry. This allows you to sear the meat easily.

Gluten Free Beef Stew
I wanted to make this recipe gluten-free, so I switched all-purpose flour with tapioca flour. If gluten-free doesn’t matter to you, feel free to use regular old flour.
What you need for this recipe:
- Instant Pot (to make it gluten free)
- Tapioca Flour
- Better than Boullion Beef Base (this is my favorite, I use this instead of beef broth: just use 2-3 tsps and 2 cups water).

Do you have an Instant Pot? What’s your favorite meal to make?
This makes me want to get an Insta pot. I’ve seen it all over the internet, but I haven’t taken the plunge yet, but will take another look it at now 🙂
Do it! Or wait until Black Friday, I’m sure there will be some great sales.
This sounds DELICIOUS, I want to definitely try making this. Looks like I need to add some spices to my cupboard. Thanks for all the cooking blogs, love this post!
One “package” of stew meat does not tell me anything about quantity.  One pound?  Two? Three?  I’m going to make this; however I’ll be guessingÂ
Sorry Tyra, at my store the stew meat is only ever in one size. It’s roughly a pound. I’ll change this now in the recipe card.
Why soup button and not stew button?
Soup or stew works fine. My IP says soup on it 🙂
I made this today and it was delicious! And so easy to made with minimal “hands on” time. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
