Instant Pot Beef Stew

You’ve probably heard of the Instant Pot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But these simple & easy to follow recipes work with any pressure cooker! All pressure cookers work on the same, simple principle: Steam pressure.

Within the sealed pot, the steam builds up therein to a very high pressure, which helps food cook much faster than other traditional methods, such as with crock pots and or ovens!

My husband loves beef stew and lately, I have been making it in the InstaPot and it comes out great every time. I thought with all the cold weather it would be a nice recipe to share. Enjoy.
