05 Nov Healthy Instant Pot Beef Stew
A classic fall recipe – instant pot beef stew! This is a super simple and healthy dish to feed your family for dinner. I used the Instant Pot for this recipe because I needed to make this quick and didn’t prep it in the morning, BUT you are totally able to use a slow cooker. I find that cooking it in the slow cooker will forever make grass-fed beef more tender to eat. 🙂
If you are using the slow cooker, you can skip the first step or you can do that step inside of a skillet. Get ready for this super simple healthy instant pot beef stew! Have fun experimenting with different herbs and root vegetables. You could add rosemary, thyme, or kick up the heat with curry powder and turmeric. Sometimes I skip the potatoes in the instant pot and make truffled mashed potatoes. The most important thing to me is that you are buying high quality grass fed and finished organic meat. If it’s dirt cheap it’s probably not quality and lacks the nutrient profile. The world is your oyster so get creative with this stew!
