Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast cut into 1" cubes
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 carrots chopped
  • 2 ribs of celery chopped
  • 1 onion diced
  • 12 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup cranberry juice + 1 teaspoon vinegar*
  • 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • dash of ground cloves

Instructions

  • Sprinkle beef cubes with salt and pepper.
  • Press the SAUTE button on the Instant Pot.
  • Add oil into the pot. When the oil is hot, sear outside of beef cubes for a few minutes (we aren't cooking the meat, just searing the outside!). Set meat aside.
  • Add carrots, celery, onion, and garlic into the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes or until they vegetables start to get tender and turn golden brown.
  • Add in tomato paste with the vegetables and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the cranberry juice, scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any of the browned bits on the bottom (this will prevent the burn notice).
  • Add the beef back into the pot.
  • Dump in the tomatoes, beef broth, rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, and dash of cloves. Also add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot. Turn knob to SEALING (not venting).
  • Press the PRESSURE COOK button and set timer for 30 minutes. Let pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (for at least 10 minutes, but the longer you can let it sit, the more tender it will be!).
  • Throw away the bay leaf.
  • Serve beef stew over hot mashed potatoes (these Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes are our favorite!)

Notes

*You can also use 1 cup dry red wine, but I used non-alcoholic ingredients for this recipe. Use whatever you have on hand! You can also use 1 cup beef broth if you don't have red wine or cranberry juice.
