If it’s your first time using the Instant Pot, it always takes about 10-15 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure. Once that happens, it will cook for 45 minutes. So anticipate total cooking time to be about 1 hour for Instant Pot. We tested this recipe with frozen beef and it still turned out tender and perfect! Our recipe is more saucy because we love sauce! If you want less sauce you can always add less tomato sauce.

About this Recipe

Looking for the ultimate comfort in a bowl without all the fuss? This Slow Cooker Beef Stew delivers deeply satisfying, hearty flavors with minimal effort, perfect for a cozy evening.

The beauty of this slow cooker beef stew lies in its simplicity and the magic of low, slow cooking. Allowing humble ingredients like beef stew meat, potatoes, carrots, and celery to simmer together for hours transforms them into a profoundly satisfying meal. The process practically takes care of itself, making it an ideal choice for busy days.

When you sit down to this stew, you can expect a wonderfully hearty and comforting meal with exceptionally tender beef and vegetables swimming in a rich, savory broth. Each spoonful brings together the earthy notes of potatoes and carrots with the robust flavor of beef, all subtly enhanced by herbs like bay leaf and a hint of paprika. It's a satisfying dish that warms you from the inside out, making it an excellent choice for chilly days.

Feel free to adjust the vegetables to your liking; green beans or parsnips would make excellent additions. For a different aromatic profile, a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary could complement the bay leaf beautifully. If you're out of Worcestershire sauce, a touch of soy sauce can provide a similar savory depth.

Serve this hearty beef stew as a complete meal, perhaps with a side of crusty bread to soak up every last drop of the savory broth. It's a perfect dish for family dinners, comforting weekend lunches, or whenever you crave a soul-warming meal.
