You can’t make a recipe without the ingredients. Of course, a stew requires slightly more ingredients than most other recipes.

Luckily, this is a Whole30 Instant Pot beef stew recipe. That means most of the ingredients will just be tossed into an Instant Pot.

There are some ingredients that will require a tiny bit more effort like the beef stew meat. But the beef stock, kale, celery, mushrooms, carrots, onions, and garlic will just be chopped and sliced and then tossed in.

How to Make Instant Pot Beef Stew

In a mixing bowl, combine the Arrowroot powder, salt, and pepper. Then add the beef chunks and dredge them in the powder combination.

Heat the oil in your Instant Pot on “sauté”. Then carefully add the beef, not letting the pieces touch each other. Brown for 3-5 minutes on each side. Remove the beef to a plate and set aside. TIP: You will likely have to work in batches depending on the size of your Instant Pot. It’s important to give the beef a little room between pieces for even cooking. Add a little more oil each time you change batches.
