Instant Pot Best Beef Stew

[@Seamonkies321]

I've tried his exact recipe on two separate occasions. It's 100% the absolute best beef stew I've ever put in my mouth. I almost want to stick my entire head in the pot and eat it from the bottom up. Believe him. It's truly amazing.

[@barbaraclair7494]

Lol, I'm making it tonight!

The way you worded this was very strange

[@jasonbeymer4025]

Another home run recipe. I made this for my boys last night, and it was amazing. The house smells like a wintry November in the midwest. I always give you credit for any compliments I receive. As a single dad of a teen & tween, thank you for showing me how to feed a family even on a tight budget.

[@RonRicho]

I rarely follow a recipe to the letter but this one I did. It was delicious!

[@cstephen98]

One suggestion, start by browning the meat (in batches) and reserve afterwards. This will create a fond on the bottom of the pot. When you add the veggies and liquid it'll deglaze and give you lots of flavour to your final dish before adding the meat back in and continuing with the recipe.

[@jenniferjohnston4300]

My grandma does this with the beef floured.

[@lmkm57]

That’s how I’d do it.

[@coryberg2]

My sentiments exactly Craig.

[@ChrisPBacone]

A nice Marsala wine or an acid is nice to break the maillard reaction

[@ChrisPBacone]

Adds more flavor and dissolves the tasty bits in the pan

[@davidchantapanya746]

works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside kzbin.infoUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

[@kimd8rh15]

Omg u are the instapot king🙌🙌🙌

[@CUATDSNY]

Thank you! I add onion soup mix

[@traceywatson2092]

For a bit of texture, I’d add a cup of frozen green peas at the same time you add the au jus. They will quickly thaw, and give you a nice pop when you eat them. Adds a nice color to the dish, too.

[@cecho9367]

Great idea

[@pauliaperdew3470]

As did I, I love peas in my beef stew!!!

[@ChrisM541]

You can never go wrong with frozen peas!

[@Metal_Mary]

I add corn too! 😋

[@robertcuthill8484]

Great idea! I picked peas from the garden just this morning. In they go!

[@hunterdogztc]

Jeffrey: Upfront I have to confess that I have probably made a dozen or more of your recipes. Most are very, very good. With this one however, you knocked it out of the park. Without question the best thing I have ever made. And like most stews, soups and casseroles, it only gets better with age as it works it’s magic in the refrigerator. As good as it is straight out of the pot, after a week it is at an entirely different level. A M A Z I N G!

[@jasonbeymer4025]

My gf loves when I try your IP recipes. I'm going to make this one for her in the upcoming week.

[@sandreawhite7534]

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I was in the mood for beef stew and looked up your video again to refresh my memory. I am making this today.

[@gidgetlawrence2536]

I just finished making a batch and we're going to have it tomorrow night. Because my Starfrit pot has a non stick surface, I seared the meat in a stainless steel skillet. After transferring the meat to the liner I sauteed the onions, celery and garlic in the skillet. Then I added the tomato paste and wine and broth with rosemary and thyme and the pan deglazed beautifully. Thank you Jeff for your entertaining and helpful videos!

[@davidrussell3610]

Now that is what I call a stew. Been waiting all my life to find a recipe for a good stew. Now that I found it, that is all I am going to make for the rest of my life. Thanks man, you are gifted with all your recipes. Every single one that I have tried, turned out perfectly. Keep up the good work and God bless you.

[@jesstruth7885]

I absolutely LOVE you!!! I have found many recipes of people what they add. And yours is just my type. No one else adds as many seasonings as you do!!! Thank you!! And your hilarious which I love as well.

[@PressureLuck]

Thank you so much!

[@elizabethshultz473]

Oh, stop! You’re killing me when it comes to the tasting part!!! It’s one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Plus everything really does taste as good as you make it look. Love this channel. ❤️ Thanks Jeff. Keep it coming!

[@susanb4213]

Dallas, TX, expecting a "winter storm," which to us is a couple inches of snow or sleet. Anyway, I made this tonight, and it was the richest, most savory beef stew I've ever made. I loved the addition of mushrooms. My husband has a terrible sore throat tonight and he literally moaned at the beefy warmth on his throat. Great recipe-the au jus addition was a surprise and I just happened to have some on hand. Thanks so much.

[@StacyandThomas]

My husband is a beef and potatoes guy. And loves his pot roast. Will definitely have to make this for him next weekend.

[@StacyandThomas]

This turned out pretty well. But oh my gosh, it was a complete mess when I opened the release valve. It was spewing EVERYWHERE. Anyone else have this problem?

[@mikeleyshon1799]

Bought one for my family and another for my parents as Christmas gifts. This stew was my first time using it. Followed to a tee with great success ! Wife and daughter loved it as did I. Took a batch over to my parents for their dinner tonight, then spent an hour with mom reviewing how to operate it, then giving her a KZbin demonstration/tour of the Pressure Luck page. Watched more than 20 videos here prior to cooking anything which helped a lot. Looking forward to the rest of the Ohio winter full of good eating. You're the best my man, thanks Jeff !!!

[@PressureLuck]

Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikeleyshon1799]

Grateful to God mom and dad are well at 75 & 77. Made probably 15 of your IP recipes with success ! Mom was reluctant but open. Showed her the video of you and your mom cooking grandma Lil's cabbage rolls and broke a barrier ! Rock on, be well, EAT great !

[@Observer111]

Hey Jeffrey; I know it's not a big deal. But, you made me laugh while setting up your Beef and Broccoli recipe. KZbin went on to the next recipe in line. It was for beef stew. The line that got me was, "While you're waiting for the Instant Pot to do it's thing, take the dog for a walk, have a glass of wine......" I burst out laughing. You made my cooking session fun. Thanks.

[@OutlawTorn33]

Next time, open both sides of the tomato paste, but leave one lid on. Use the spoon to push the lid through the can to get it all out in a fraction of the time :)

[@bonniepwtf]

Yep, that's what I learned years ago, never fails.

So, lately I've been hearing a buzz about this Jeff Eisner and his incredible IP recipes (only 4 years behind, here). Love that you're just a regular guy, and the fact that you've got what I've always called, a "chocolate milk" voice. So smooth & deep & rich - kinda like your beef stew. Great to listen to. Can't wait to try this recipe and others. Thanks!

Every rainy day I come back to this video. I love the taste of this stew. Huge fan of Jeffrey's recipes.

[@grangershelly0]

Hi Jeffrey! Gawd! I can't tell you how many times I have recommended you in our group "Instant Pot for Beginners!" Your books, your videos, and your pages, and most of all, Your Fabulous recipes!!! You basically helped me become a rising star in our group because I just think your the "Bomb" and can't stop praising your wonderful demeanor, sense of humor, and your so easy to follow steps and tips! I look forward to seeing you every day in a new or old IP recipe video because you are just such a great teacher and person. My first time using my IP I followed along with you to make "Carnitas" including the Corona! It turned out so wonderful, juicy, and flavorful! I also just about fell off my chair when you showed me how to use the IP AF Lid to Crisp the meat!!! I had just purchased the Lid after watching a Ton of reviews! Thank You! Haven't stopped using it since! Then I made your Grandma's Cabbage rolls! Also to Die for! I love you and hope you keep on writing your books and doing your demos with your IP. You are an Inspiration and a breath of fresh air! Huge Hugs!

[@hollypark4022]

The addition of Au Jus! Brilliant!

[@Fr.Sarducci]

I made this and it is absolutely fabulous. Everyone in the family polished it off in no time. Today is snowing and, due to popular demand, I’m making it again. Thank you for another wonderful recipe.

[@PressureLuck]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@bridgetclement2968]

​@@PressureLuckDoes Instapot have a Rice cooker?

[@irishpixierose]

Add tomato paste to pot before adding liquids and cook a little. It brings out the flavor of the tomato paste and enhances your sauce. Same when making pasta sauce. Leave one end, after opening, on the tomato paste can. Use it to push paste out cleanly.

[@Mandy_39]

That's what I do, tomato paste & beef broth! So freaking delicious, tonight will be my 1st attempt in the Instant Pot 😬

[@balls2balls]

I made this recipe just like the video the first time and second time I did your tip and I agree I could taste more of the paste. I did some other tweaks too - added in some chipotle powder and a little cayenne pepper powder with the juice of half a lemon. Added some good complexity and spice. Thanks for the tomato paste tip.

[@sapat664]

I saute my veg first, then put the tomato paste on and stir it in real good to develop the flavor, then put everything else in like him.

[@irishpixierose]

@sapat664 that what I do with the tomato paste

[@nehemiahgirltoday]

My son (who is very hard to please) and I thought this recipe was 100% great! And so easy to follow. Instructions were clear and concise. I also added a tiny bit of red pepper flakes - for a little bit of kick - it worked. Just purchased your book!

Hey Jeffrey, just received your book from the States (I live in the Netherlands) and I am super impressed on the variety of recipes and well thought-out cooking procedures. Can't say I own a cookbook that can compare to yours. Thanks for time and effort you put into this book. I'm sure the cost of the book and the shipping/handling will pay for itself in no time.

[@manong4328]

I made this stew tonight. Fantastic! So flavourful! I put a little less liquid because I like it thicker. I would not hesitate at all to serve this dish around me. Thank you.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

Instead of using less liquid, just use a couple of teaspoons of cornstarch and put it in right after you take the lid off. I like the gravy the best so I always make sure there's plenty.

[@KitKat-wt6ed]

I made this for dinner tonight. I didn't have fresh mushrooms, but I had a small can of mushrooms in butter sauce that I added instead. In Australia, we do not have "au jus" so I hit google and found it to be the equivalent of our "roast meat gravy" so I added a pkt of that. Served it with italian crusty bread. It was sooo good & full of flavour. My dad isn't a huge fan of beef stew but even he liked it. Everyone else loved it and the whole pot was gone after everyone came back 2 hrs later and had more. I am definitely keeping this recipe. Thank you so much.

[@dawsonmckeown4242]

Jeff - Great recipe! Thanks for developing & posting. We’re going to add dried prunes before pressure cooking to give it a French twist.

[@brilliantatbreakfast]

I would add a few things to this: 1) Agree with Craig Stephen below about creating fond. HUGE flavor difference in the meat. 2) Might need a bit of cornstarch slurry. 3) I would also add just a TINY bit of Kitchen Bouquet or if you have a Caribbean market or live in an area with a sizable Caribbean population (Publix may have it), a few drops of Grace Foods browning. Gives a really rich dark brown color. Pearl onions would be good too, but use the frozen ones. Fresh ones are a bear to peel.

[@spinozareader]

Kitchen Bouquet is my spirit animal.

[@BecBurb]

I made this last night, followed it exactly. IT WAS AMAZING. Everyone loved it. New staple in our house. So easy and so delicious.

[@ellenhofer3343]

I lived this when it came out and still make it all the time. But, I use a tri-tip roast because of the flavor

[@cakekomo]

So I tried this tonight. I did one thing different and that is I browned ONE SIDE of the beef first for the Maillard reaction while leaving most of the meat raw to be cooked as per usual. The only suggestion I have is to cut the rosemary and thyme in half at least. Unless you really, REALLY like the taste of Rosemary. 1 tsp overpowers everything else. For those who think that 20 mins isn't enough time in the pressure cooker, the timing is perfect just as he describes. The carrots and potatoes were soft, but not mushy unless you mush them on purpose. The beef was the same. Not falling apart (which isn't good), but tender enough to cut with your spoon. Provides the perfect texture you want in your mouth.

[@nancysciulli8440]

I just finished making it too. It is perfect. I left out the rosemary and wine but that little bit of brown sugar was genius. It is amazing how 20 min. is just right.

[@shirleyodonnell6717]

Another suggestion, for people who don't like mushrooms (texture-wise), use dried mushroons and grind them up into a powder in a spice grinder to add tons of flavour. I love beef stew with doughboys on top though I don't use beef much anymore, it's become too expensive, so I use pork shoulder instead.

[@moonbear5929]

I've done that. The powdered dried shrooms do add a nice flavor to certain dishes.
