Instant Pot® Irish Beef Stew image

This hearty beef stew cooks in an Instant Pot®. It's full of vegetables and seasonings and has a savory sauce. I find herbs and seasonings lose their potency while under pressure, which is why I add most of them at the end.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ pounds beef stew meat
1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
2 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon coconut aminos (soy-free seasoning sauce)
2 teaspoons steak sauce
1 teaspoon browning sauce
1 ½ teaspoons dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place stew meat in a large bowl and season liberally with garlic salt and pepper. Add flour and toss to coat. Set floured meat aside.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and add garlic. Saute until soft and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and floured meat; discard remaining flour in the bowl. Cook beef without stirring until browned on one side, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir and repeat until most sides are browned, 5 to 7 minutes more. Add beef broth. Close and lock the lid. Choose manual high pressure and set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Add potatoes, carrots, and onion to the pot and stir to combine with beef. Close and lock the lid. Choose manual high pressure and set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce, coconut aminos, steak sauce, browning sauce, rosemary, and thyme to the pot and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt, if needed.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ¼ pounds lamb shoulder, cubed
1 onion, diced
2 shallots, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon white cooking wine
2 carrots, or more to taste, sliced into rounds
¾ pound small red potatoes, halved
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 ½ cups beef broth
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon potato starch
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Warm butter and oil in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) set to Saute function. Add lamb and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add onion and shallots to the pot; cook and stir until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
  • Pour wine into the pot and scrape up any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Cook until wine is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Place carrots and potatoes on top of onions. Season with rosemary and thyme; stir to combine well. Arrange lamb over vegetables; pour beef broth on top.
  • Close and lock the lid. Open vent for steaming. Select Meat/Stew function; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix water and potato starch until creamy.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Opt for chuck roast or brisket, as these cuts are well-marbled and will result in tender, flavorful stew.
  • Brown the beef well: This step is crucial for developing rich flavor in the stew. Sear the meat in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and nutrients to the stew. Common choices include carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, and parsnips.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with herbs and spices: Classic Irish stew seasonings include thyme, parsley, bay leaves, and black pepper. However, you can also add other herbs and spices to your taste, such as rosemary, oregano, or paprika.
  • Use a good quality stout: The stout adds a rich, malty flavor to the stew. Guinness is a classic choice, but you can also use other dark beers or even red wine.
  • Cook the stew slowly and low: This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender. Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the stew with traditional accompaniments: These include mashed potatoes, colcannon, or crusty bread. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or horseradish sauce for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Irish beef stew is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its tender beef, savory vegetables, and rich stout gravy, this stew is sure to satisfy even the hungriest of appetites. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this Irish beef stew recipe a try.
