Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 pounds beef stew meat
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound 16 ounces baby yellow potatoes, halved
  • 1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 4 medium-sized carrots ends trimmed, chunked
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small yellow onion peeled, ends trimmed, diced
  • 2 cups frozen peas

Instructions

  • Add beef stew meat to a bowl.
  • Mix together flour, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  • Sprinkle flour mixture over the beef and toss to combine. You're not looking to fully cover the beef in flour just enough to help it brown up nicely.
  • Add your Instant Pot to the saute setting and add in olive oil.
  • When the oil is hot add in half you beef and cook until browned.
  • Remove the cooked meat, add in a little extra oil if needed, and brown the second half of the meat.
  • When all the meat is browned, add it all back to the pot, and pour in the beef stock.
  • Using a wooden spatula scrape up all the lovely brown bits from the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Turn the heat to the Instant Pot off.
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, potatoes, pumpkin puree, mushrooms, carrots, garlic, and yellow onion.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Add the lid of the Instant Pot onto the pot, close it tightly, and make sure the vent is in the "seal" position.
  • Set to manual, high pressure, 35 minutes.
  • After the stew has come to pressure and cooked for 35 minutes allow it to natural release for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes of natural release, release it manually, remove the lid, and stir the stew.
  • Add in frozen peas and allow them to warm through with the heat of the stew, about 2 minutes.
  • Taste and season with additional kosher salt and black pepper if needed.
