Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 chuck roast, cubed into 1 1/2 inch (3.5 cm) pieces
3 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 ½ cups beef broth, divided
3 medium carrots, cut into 1½-inch (3.5 cm) pieces on the bias
2 celery stalks, cut into 1 in (2.54 cm) pieces on the bias
3 yukon gold potatoes, cubed
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

On a cutting board, pat the cubed chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all over with the salt and pepper.
Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the beef, working in batches to avoid overcrowding, and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the browned beef to a plate to rest.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the onion to the Instant Pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, 1 minute.
Add the tomato paste and thyme and stir to combine, about 1 minute. Add the Worcestershire sauce and ½ cup of beef broth and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, seared beef, and remaining 2 cups of beef broth to the pot and secure the lid. Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. When the timer is up, let the Instant Pot naturally release for 10 minutes. If there is any remaining pressure, switch the valve to quick release.
Remove the lid from the Instant Pot and set to sauté.
In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch and water together until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Add the cornstarch slurry and peas to the Instant Pot and stir to combine. Cook until the broth thickens, about 1 minute.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with the parsley.
Enjoy!

Tips:

For a thicker stew, use more cornstarch or flour. For a thinner stew, use less.

To make the stew ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the stew over medium heat until warmed through.
Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
