Evenly coat stew meat with salt, pepper, and flour.
Turn your instant pot to its sear mode and set it on high. Add a tablespoon of oil to the pot and cook your beef till browned on all sides. Work in 2-3 batches to avoid over crowding the pan.
Once the meat has been browned return it all to your pot and add tomato paste and minced garlic. Stir to coat beef and cook for 1 minute.
Add the chopped vegetables and stir.
Add the beef broth and soy sauce. Pressure cook on high for 35-40 minutes. Make sure vent is closed.
Once pressure has released add potatoes and cook on high for 10 minutes.
Release pressure and stir in corn starch slurry to thicken the broth.
Serve over white rice, with sweet bread, or cornbread. Enjoy!
- Cooking the browned meat with tomato paste and garlic was my grandmother-in-laws secret to creating a flavorful stew. Do not skip this part.
- Many families like to add green beans to their beef stew. Fresh are best, but frozen work in a pinch.
