I'm just starting to us my InstantPot, can you give me tips?
Nickenj says:
Tasty stew! Directions were spot on.
Acesmash says:
Excellent!
Alexander Dixon Salinas says:
Real easy to follow and delicious!
nlaporte says:
Vegetables were in way too long. Potatoes were almost mush. Suggest cooking meat as noted in recipe with the required liquid and onions at high pressure for 35 minutes. Quick release and add carrots and potatoes. Reset at high pressure for 10 to 12 minutes. I would probably brown the meat in a separate sauté pan to save time. I find the sauté function somewhat inadequate. As soon as you add the meat, it goes from "hot" back to "on". The depth of the insert also makes sautéing more difficult.
Jose Zvietcovich says:
Terribly wrong written. Impossible to follow. Please Instant Pot, review recipes before publishing them.
DHC says:
Delicious! Potatoes cook down but saw other review and modified.
Gordonmcds says:
Ok, my changes. Added 1/4 cup of red wine to the liquid as well as increased to 1 1/2 cups of broth. Cooked the beef, onions, and two crushed garlic cloves for 23′. Released pressure, added potatoes and carrots, cooked for 22′. Very good.
Jkleiner says:
Is the last cooking for 22 min with potatoes & carrots under pressure or not?
Jhkleiner says:
If I could just make a suggestion, for a stew where you wish to have your vegetables maintain there shape (such as potatoes) try using a low starch and high moisture potatoe such as red or new potatoes (tight skinned). Russets are great in a dish where you'd like them to break down a little to thicken the sauce. That being said maybe stay with original recipe and change potato.
DDgigi says:
Very flavorful but veggies were too done. I would cook meat halfway rhen add veggies next time.
Janderson1289 says:
Very good!
Vandycarr says:
Very easy and good! Veggies were super soft but it was very good!
Mbray says:
This was delicious and easy!
Andy says:
Because I wanted to shorten the total cooking time, I cut up the beef into 1 inch cubes and sauteed in two batches. Also made ingredient changes to suite our tastes: olive oil for saute, used chicken broth, added 3 chopped cloves of garlic, added dried parsley and bay leaves (removed before eating), used flour/water instead of cornstarch, used all 6 oz tomato paste can, less salt, added 1/2 cup red wine and 1/4 cup bock beer. After mixing all the ingredients together, pressure cooked for 17 minutes. Vegetables not over cooked, gravy done, beef tender. Ready to serve when pressure naturally released.
Luciana Rodriguez says:
Easy and delicious!!
Winunc says:
This was the 4th meal i have made and it came out great. I used red potatos, because that's what I had, and it came out fine. Flavor and consistency were great.
Flaguy says:
Great but next time I would add more liquid.
Karlar says:
It was very good, although my husband and I thought it had too much salt. Next time I will cut the salt down, probably half. It was still very good.
Steven60 says:
Easy and delicious!
davidvetter1953 says:
Made this last night. Great flavor, but too salty, will reduce at least by half. Easy to make, and again very tasty! Will definitely make it again!
LoisC says:
Good basic recipe but used olive oil for the sauté, did a sauté of the onions along with garlic and deglazed with cognac. Used less salt and pepper and added a good sprinkling of thyme.
Kathleen ryan says:
Made it last night . Followed the instructions. Excellent result. Wud recommend this stew. Hint, get everything ready before sauting the meat. Avoids panic
Ldl722 says:
I don't have a manual button … Ummmm how do i set this to go
Paulzak17 says:
Good recipe but not enough for 8 servings as specified. Made a salad and had fresh rolls with the stew. Reduced cooking time to 40 minutes and added a bit more beef broth.
Maureenlazerus says:
My first time using IP.. followed directions exactly.. very tasty but the potatoes and carrots were mush. The meat was so tender tho.. after reading reviews I will try other suggestions
KB2127 says:
I would recommend this recipe for first time recipe! Easy and delicious!!!
dragonberry says:
I followed the advice of halving the salt. I also added many more seasonings such as oregano and thyme. I floured the beef before browning it, too.
A decent recipe. I was nervous about using quick release but it worked out fine.
Danielle Pike says:
Awesome easy basic stew recipe. Especially for those new to pressure cooking with the instant pot
sujey rosales says:
I'm going to make this for dinner ,probably doing the meat apart on an iron skillet for sautted. wish me luck .
bcreeks says:
Could use a little more flavor but it was very good.
Toullou says:
Great deep taste. Doing it again today. I cut the potatoes a bit bigger though. I also sauté the onions a bit after the beef to lessen the raw taste. Best tasting stew i've had.
Neeners says:
It was easy to make and pretty enjoyable. However, it was bland and needed more seasoning.
Trinidan21 says:
This was easy to make and delicious! I did add some nore seasoning the second time i made it.
unicycle says:
Perfect. Kids absolutely loved it! Took some time but was easy to do and cooking as a family was a blast.
unicycle says:
Absolutely great, and never had happier children at dinner time!
Mjlandry says:
I've made this twice but i add chopped celery and a can of corn. Also, instead of tomato paste i use a can of Rotel tomatoes. Perfect!
Eddie2256 says:
Absolutely delicious!!! On a cool day it was what the doctor ordered.
Reebecka says:
I always add a bottle of dark stout beer, 2 tbs. of brown sugar, a little oregano, a little thyme, a bay leaf, and 1 can of diced tomatoes. I promise you will never eat a better stew!
Foolez says:
Absolutely wonderful. I used a little less salt but followed the rest of the recipe. And 8 servings is a stretch, more like 5 or 6. Very tasty, and very tender meat. I will do this again for sure.
Glorys says:
Ldl722. I guess by this time you figured it out, i was at thr same row, the mannual botton on newers IP is "Pressure"
Alikair says:
Band. Will make again but with more spices
RAFifer says:
Good basic recipe but we found it to be bland based on the ingredient list. I added more salt and pepper. Next time, I'll consider adding more seasonings
Jaznele99 says:
Absolutely love the Instant Pot. Beef Stew came out amazing and so quickly!!!!
KnowlesJ says:
So so yummy! Easy to make and my family LOVES it!
The meat is so tender it falls apart.
MariaLynn says:
Absolutely amazing! I added in some worchestshire sauce and Aloha Soy… perfect
A-A-Ron says:
This is pretty great stew, but it could use more potato for my liking. And maybe some more seasoning.
Barbara623 says:
Delicious! Used a can of Rotel tomatoes instead of paste. Added some minced garlic and a dash of browning sauce. Next time will cut up larger pieces of the potatoes. Will make it again!
Miss B says:
Made this and its now one I make often. Very yummy takes a little prep but well worth it.
Rkhost2002@yahoo.com says:
2nd item made with my new pot. Very good. Will use red potatoes next time. russets fell apart. Used a lot less salt and let everyone add if they wanted it. All in all we really enjoyed it.
warrenwwii says:
Very good I just added Worchestershire to mine everybody loved it
Beth Engelhardt says:
I did the adaptation of adding the vegetables for the last 22 minutes and some wine. Delicious! For "newbies", "manual" means pressure cooker.
Jenniferturnbow8 says:
Great taste and love this recipe !
Malucallmemom says:
The best beef stew i have ever made family loved it. I will be making this again.
AmandaGrieshop says:
Very flavorful!
Davelz says:
Very simple but verygood.
Dan and Kim says:
I removed the cornstarch and added Au jus i also added a can of green beans The potatoes and double my tomato paste made the thickness perfect for my wife and my likeing
Jasonblack says:
I have the three qrt pot so I halved the recpei. I think ill know off five+ minutes of cooking due to some general mushyness. I added a tablespoon of garlic because im me and overall very happy with this one.
Zee Elders says:
When i make it again i will take the pressure cooking time down about 20 mins cuz the potatoes were way over cooked. Everything became really mushy. That or ill put the veggies in later. It turned tasting pretty good. I altered the recipe slightly by adding red pepper flakes, red wine and italian seasoning. Another thing is that it seemed like may e I misunderstood the recipe but i ended removing ALL of the cooked food to add the slurry to thicken the juice and then added it all back in.
Lpotter11 says:
The whole family loved it!!
Jokeljas says:
Super easy. Family loved it. Was worried the veggies would be mush. They werent. Perfect!!
Dustywatson says:
Great recipe other than the cooking time. 45 mins is to long for carrots and potatoes and onions. Better if only cooked 30 to 35 mins.
Auntnaya says:
I loved this! I made a few changes, taking ideas from several recipes. I dusted the meat with flour and browned as directed. I didn't have russets so used reds (I'll take reds over pretty much any other potato!) I didn't add any chicken stock, I made it all beef, using "Better Than Bullion" instead. It was rich, saucey without being gravyish! We will definitely use this recipe often!
beckypoo40 says:
A bit watery but good flavour.
bwong2k@yahoo.com says:
Petty good, and it was my first dish made with the instant pot. Rates like my dad's stew.
Mystree55 says:
Great recipe. Added celery & mushrooms. Cooked meat & mushrooms for 30 mins, then added veggies & cooked for another 15 mins. Everything was cooked to perfection.
BigBudsBob says:
It was ok for my first try. Needs some herbs for flavour and after the set time of cooking the potatoes and carrots turned to mush. Perhaps it should be cooked for less time.
Christine06 says:
How do you make the beef soft?
Ksenia_from_russia says:
I followed the recepie step by step except replaced potatoes with mashrooms and served over pasta (not traditional beef stew but it was neat) and reduced final cooking to 35 mins. The meat was super soft and flavor was delicious. Also adding dry Basil at the last step gave it nice touch.
Ksenia_from_russia says:
Oh also loved the idea of saute beef in butter, it made it extra creamy and soft
WebbCooker says:
This is an awesome recipe. I added fresh mushrooms and A quarter cup of red wine.
Viktoriia Kashperenko says:
Easy to make and very delicious!
Mariagarciapa says:
Great beef stew. I added green bean and sweet potatoes. 2 teaspoons of salt makes it too salty. I would recommend 1 teaspoon of salt.
mandilynn1 says:
This was a great meal! I chose to add mor broth than what was recommended. Would make again!
BigA says:
Yum yum in my tum tum! Added double the paste and salt. Salt was large grain. Used homemade chicken broth instead. Added shrooms and green beans from garden.
aschwanberg says:
This recipe did not work. 1 cup of liquid is not nearly enough. My instant pot kept turning to "burn". I had to keep scraping the bottom of the pot and adding more liquid.
Barreto1213 says:
Weres the recipe
Kaimeco says:
If I can do this, you can!
Zilla37 says:
I did add rutabaga and a parsnip for flavour. Very good
Rick_w says:
I used 950 ml of beef broth, as yes 1 cup of water did not seen enough.
Cforrest says:
Good taste as written. Vegs soft not mushy. Added 1 Small box of mushrooms sliced in 1/2
kmt41029 says:
This was delicious!!!
edurbin1610 says:
Soooo amazing. Meat just falls apart!! Magic, I swear.
Mrssteiny31198 says:
I used minced garlic and scallions. Delish!
Marinus says:
The seco d time I have used the INSTA POT. The stew was as I remember my wife making for me. I made the recipe for 2 people as I am alone. It was great will make it again.
Palermo63 says:
Just made for Sunday dinner. Quick, easy and the best stew yet.
Samandconnie says:
It's delicious! Made it 2 days in a row.
Tamar0328 says:
Just made it smells delicious. I have big eaters does not seem enough. Will need to double the recipe.
Thag says:
Just made this. Delicious and simple.
LeslieAA says:
Love how quick and easy this is to make. A bit dry for our taste so i added another cup of beef stew and it was perfectly delicious
Joseph M says:
Fantastic recipe! I added a couple bay leaves when I made it, it really brings out the flavor!
Donny0975 says:
Meat falls apart, very tender. Changes i made…. added mushrooms and beef at beginning, cooked about 30 minutes, then added sweet potato and carrots and cooked additional 10 minutes. Also added extra beef broth, 1 cup didn't seem enough. Family loved the recipe, will be making it again!
Harmsy says:
Delicious! Fantastic flavour. Can't wait to make it again.
Lisa Pendry says:
I wish to make this recipe this afternoon and put dumplings in too. Shall I put the dumplings in before i close the lid and cook for 25 mins? Thank you
Ronnie1918IP says:
45 mins is TOO LONG, unless you want your ingredients as a primordial stoup. Go for 20 Mins max. Add bay leaf, some red wine to deglaze the beef and more aromatic herbs.

Tia says:
This is, by far, my favorite IP recipe. My changes: Used a can of Ro-tel instead of the required tomato paste. Planned to use 4 cups of beef broth, but didn't have enough… So 2 cups beef and 2 cups chicken broth. No salt/pepper while cooking. Instead added salt/pepper after served up. No cornstarch or water. 30 min w/o potatoes and carrots. Quick release, added potatoes and carrots. Finished with 13 minutes high and quick release. I still think the veggies were a tad mushy, so next time I'll try 12 minutes at the end. And believe me, the next time is not too far in the future!
I wish we could upload photos because I think my stew was beautiful!
Raven34 says:
Loved the recipe. I added frozen peas to mine. Turned out great
Saxenas says:
Awsome and Simple.. Just make sure you don't add anymore than 1.5 cups of broth unless you like it soupy.. Even my teenage daughter knows how to make it now!!
Tyler_Isrock says:
Easy to make. Won't mess up the kitchen.
IrinaM says:
For Duo mini 3 qt pot i divided ingredients in half. Used about a cup of mild salsa instead of tomatoe paste. Didn't use corn starch and water. Cooked for 35 min. Would prefer more liquid next time, maybe one cup of broth instead of 1/2. Served with sour cream. Perfect for 4 people. One down side of this recipe- there was no leftovers left to enjoy the next day! Delicious winter stew!
Gina says:
I also have the 3-quart and halved the recipe. Didn't have tomato paste, so I substituted 1/2 cup tomato puree and reduced the amount of broth. Also used flour and broth instead of cornstarch and water, but considering the mush that the vegetables became, it really wasn't necessary. Added celery and seasoned salt. The flavor was really good, but the vegetables were complete mush. If I make this again, I will definitely cook the meat without vegetables first and add veggies later. Might add one potato or so at the beginning of cooking to act as a thickener so I don't need any other.
Tom7737 says:
Used the basic recipe but added turnip and parsnip plus a couple of bay leaves. We found the stew was a bit too salty for us and will cut salt by half the next time. Very good.
Vandar says:
Delicious! Meat was so tender!
Cmuskett says:
This was dinner tonight and it was so delicious!
Kathy says:
Very good! This was really easy, and directions were easy to follow. I used yellow potatoes, and just sliced the onions rather than chopping. I also used tomato sauce since I didn't have paste. I thought my vegetables were perfectly cooked.
Precila Z. says:
So I made the beef stew…it was delicious. But this evenings dinner I swapped the meat for chicken breast. Just as good.
Gary says:
I agree with many others. Meat was tender, maybe too tender but ok. Carrots and potatoes were mush, ruined. Tasted ok. Apparently this recipe was written without ever dusting off your instapot or you wouldn't have posted this.
Pottop says:
45 minutes is way too long. After reading reviews I cooked on high at 25 minutes. My potatoes were mush. The carrots barely firm. I think the meat should be done first. Then add the potatoes and carrots for maybe 10 minutes. I also added peas at the end, and worchestershire sauce.
worchestershire

So I made the beef stew…it was delicious. But this evenings dinner I swapped the meat for chicken breast. Just as good.
I agree with many others. Meat was tender, maybe too tender but ok. Carrots and potatoes were mush, ruined. Tasted ok. Apparently this recipe was written without ever dusting off your instapot or you wouldn't have posted this.
45 minutes is way too long. After reading reviews I cooked on high at 25 minutes. My potatoes were mush. The carrots barely firm. I think the meat should be done first. Then add the potatoes and carrots for maybe 10 minutes.
I also added peas at the end, and worchestershire sauce.
