Recipe Tips:

- Cooking Methods – We love to pressure cook the beef stew but you can also cook on the stove top in a Dutch Oven or in the slow cooker.
- Thickening the Sauce – If you need to thicken the sauce, make a cornstarch slurry with cornstarch and water. Combine 2 tablespoons of each and then add into the stew.
Serving Suggestions:
This meal is amazing with crusty bread so you can dip into that yummy broth. Pick up a loaf of French bread from the bakery or make these easy homemade dinner rolls.
Just use whatever your family likes! We have even made this easy homemade cornbread and served the soup with that.

This was the first thing I cooked using my InstaPot. It turned out fabulous! I used tomatoe juice instead of the paste, sauce and canned tomatoes and I added a bit of beef flavouring powder with water. Will be making this tasty meal again!! ?
