Ok I have to admit, I haven't experimented as much as I'd like with my Instant Pot and I've also had a couple of disasters. There is no doubt it takes some getting used to! The other week I kind of blew up a whole chicken! BUT, I came across a few different beef stew recipes, chose some ingredients from here and there, and put a recipe together for me to try. I was a bit nervous on how it would turn out and I have to admit, it was delicious and definitely a keeper for our dinner rotation! You can always cook beef stew in the crock pot (which I do have a recipe for under the Clean Eating Recipes tab) but this specific recipe is for those who have an Instant Pot! Oh, and it makes for GREAT leftovers too which is a bonus!
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
