Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) beef stew meat (chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes)
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Liquid and Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Thickening Agents:
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Garnish and Serving:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Mashed potatoes
Instructions
- Activate the instant pot’s sauté mode at medium-high heat. Drop olive oil into the pot and introduce diced onions, sizzling them until translucent for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate minced garlic and allow it to become aromatic for 30 seconds, releasing its rich fragrance throughout the pot.
- Introduce beef stew meat and generously season with salt, black pepper, thyme, and paprika. Sear the meat on all surfaces for 5-7 minutes, developing deep caramelized edges.
- Pour beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce into the pot. Stir thoroughly, carefully scraping accumulated browned particles from the bottom to enhance flavor complexity.
- Secure the instant pot lid, positioning the valve to sealing position. Pressurize and cook at high temperature for 25 minutes, allowing meat to become incredibly tender.
- After cooking completes, permit natural pressure reduction for 10 minutes. Gently release remaining pressure by switching valve to venting position.
- Create cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch with water. Integrate mixture into beef sauce, returning pot to sauté mode and simmering for 2-3 minutes until sauce reaches desired consistency.
- Transfer beef tips over mashed potatoes, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately while piping hot and supremely succulent.
Notes
- Tenderize Perfectly by choosing well-marbled beef cuts like chuck roast or sirloin tip, ensuring maximum flavor and softness during pressure cooking.
- Enhance Depth by deglazing the pot with a splash of red wine or beef stock after sautéing, capturing all those delicious caramelized browned bits for richer sauce.
- Customize Dietary Needs by substituting coconut aminos for soy sauce to make the recipe gluten-free and replacing beef with portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
- Elevate Leftovers by storing in airtight containers for up to 4 days, allowing flavors to develop and taste even more delicious when reheated gently in the microwave or stovetop.
