Epic Instapot Beef Stew
INGREDIENTS
1.5 lbs grass fed stew meat, cubed
1 medium yellow onion
3-4 cloves garlic
2 small red potatoes
1 medium sweet potato
2 large carrots
3-4 stalks celery
4-5 medium crimini mushrooms
2.5 cups organic stock of choice
6 oz tomato paste
2 tbsp coconut aminos
Fresh parsley to garnish ~ ½ bunch
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp cumin or coriander (or both!)
Salt & Pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Step 1
Brown meat on all sides using Instapot sauté setting or cast iron skillet with appropriate cooking oil. Salt & pepper the meat while it is cooking. Set aside.
Step 2
Prep all veggies to desired texture. Since the instapot & crock pot can make things a bit mushy, I like to keep veggies like carrots/celery/sweet potatoes in bigger quarter sized chunks.
Step 3
Add all ingredients to Instapot, seal and set to 35 minutes on the manual setting.
Step 4
Let pressure release 10 minutes before activating quick release.
Step 5
Spoon into a deep bowl, add LOTS of parsley as a garnish and enjoy.
Serving Suggestion
I LOVE sauerkraut on soups and stews. It adds a fabulous tang. Try putting 1-2 tbsp fresh kraut on with your parsley as a garnish. You will not be disappointed.
