Ingredients

• 2 pounds of beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 4 large carrots, sliced
• 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

1. Start by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function. Add the olive oil and let it heat up.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Add the beef stew meat to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Stir in the tomato paste, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Mix well to coat the meat.
5. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring that you scrape any bits off the bottom of the pot. This will add flavor to your stew.
6. Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to 'Manual' for 35 minutes.
7. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural release for 10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
8. Open the lid and stir in the frozen peas. If you prefer a thicker stew, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry, then stir it into the hot stew and let it simmer until thickened.
9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy this warm and inviting stew with your family and friends!
