Looking for a simple Instant Pot Beef Stew recipe? We've got you covered!

Instant Pot beef stew is one of our favorite fall meals. We’ve only had our Instant Pot for a year and a half, but we’ve defaulted to Instant Pot beef stew more times than I want to admit. I’ve tried a few simple instant pot beef stew recipes, but this one was created out our our family’s preferences, food budget, and lack of time.

Let’s keep it real: one of the main reasons I love making this simple Instant Pot beef stew is the smell. Making beef stew in the slow cooker was always amazing, but I have to smell it ALL DAY. The torture! Making beef stew in the Instant Pot means I get a tease for less than an hour, and my salivation is minimal. I can dig it. Without further ado, here is our recipe for simple Instant Pot beef stew.
