Crazy Delicious Beef Stew for the Instapot or Pressure Cooker


This stew has a lot of ingredients..but that equals lots of flavor.  This recipe takes a total of about 45 minutes in the pressure cooker from start to finish..but it is well worth the wait.
  • 1 pounds beef stew meat
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 medium onion, cut into large chunks
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or red wine
  • 4 medium potatoes,  chopped into chunks
  • 2 c. fresh green beans
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into thick pieces
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 1/2 star anise 
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 cups beef broth, homemade or low sodium 
  •  
  • Put instapot on saute, add several T. olive oil in.  Mix flour and stew meat together and add to pot.  Brown meat for about 5 minutes.  Add remaining ingredients.  Put on manual cook for 30 minutes.  Allow pressure to release on its own-about 15 minutes.  Mix 2 T. cornstarch into sauce and saute until thickened.
