INGREDIENTS (use organic ingredients whenever possible)
• 2 pounds beef stew meat, cubed

1. Press BROWN on your Instant Pot. Add the EVOO and allow the inner pot to heat until ready.
2. Add meat, onions, and garlic. Continue to stir until the meat browns completely. Mix in the remaining ingredients and turn off the BROWN setting.
3. Close the Instant Pot lid and lock it, turning the knob to PRESSURE. Pressure cook on HIGH for 30 minutes.
4. Once the pressure cooking is complete, release pressure using the quick release function. Stir well, serve, and enjoy. I love leftovers! The next day this dish is easy to reheat. I add additional frozen vegetables to extend the meal and to increase my veggie intake. I have lots of frozen vegetables at hand, everything from mushrooms, okra, cauliflower, and broccoli rice, artichokes, Brussel sprouts, asparagus, and kale. I add them to my leftover stew and in no more than 15 minutes I have a lovely warming dish to enjoy on a cold night….
