Made this numerous times. I did add a can of diced petite tomatoes. Yummy 

Absolutely delicious! Made it exactly and everyone loved it!

Family loved it! Used a small chuck roast (lifted it out, shredded it and returned to stew) no flour or Worcestershire sauce (daughter is celiac) and it was delicious! Thank you, Kristine!

Hi Denise,
Here is my Instant Pot Beef Stew recipe. Enjoy!

Made this for dinner, it was a big hit with everyone! The only thing was that it was very thin, even after I used the cornstarch and water to thicken it. It was more like a vegetable beef soup than stew. Still it tasted great. Served with homemade biscuits!

This came out great. Tasty and the chuck roast i used for the meet was incredibly tender. I added cabbage to it. it was delicious .👍

Wonderful recipe!!! My family loved it. The only substitutions I’ve done were pink Himalayan salt and I didn’t have Italian seasoning so I had a garlic herb seasoning in it’s place but OMG I loved everything about it. I will definitely make this stew again. So much flavor and easy to make!

Great recipe! My boyfriend loved it. I used gluten free flour on the meat. I’m not a big beef stew person but had to try it. It was very tasty! He said he wouldn’t change anything at all (and he can be picky). Thanks for the recipe! 

Love this recipe. It is my go to and the only stew I make. I just add some frozen veggies at the end. Turns out perfect everytime. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

Hi Elena,
After receiving your comment I just retested this recipe again, cutting the potatoes into 1-inch pieces as directed in the recipe. After 4 hours on high, the potatoes were very tender. It seems that your slow cooker may not be cooking correctly if the potatoes (which you cut even smaller) were still very hard after 4 hours on high.

Hi Elena, I’m sorry that your dinner wasn’t ready on time. It’s been a while since I made this recipe, but I remember carefully testing the cook times so I’m surprised your potatoes were still so firm after 4 hours on high. My best guess as to why is that perhaps your slow cooker cooks a bit lower than mine. It’s also important to not lift the lid often during cooking since that lets a lot of heat out and can increase the cook time.

Has it been cooking on high for 4 hours? Different slow cookers can cook differently so you may need to adjust the cooking time. I’d recommend a cornstarch slurry to thicken the broth. I hope you enjoy!

You can add frozen peas during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking.

Hi Lauren,
You can use russets but I find that they tend to fall apart a bit more. The stew will still be delicious, though!
