Pressure Cooker Recipe | Instant Pot Beef Stew
We often pick up stew meat on sale for recipes like this, but you can really use any chunks of beef you prefer. A good chuck roast or even round steak can be cut into pieces for this recipe. It all depends upon your budget and personal preferences. It also works wonderfully with some venison roasts cut into chunks if you have a hunter in the family to provide you with free meat!
The Instant Pot 6-Quart DUO60 is our favorite choice for making this recipe, but you can easily use any electric pressure cooker. Just double check the manual to convert settings as needed for your cooker.
