1 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
2 lb beef roast, diced into 1-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, sliced into half rounds
3 Tbsp tomato paste
3 c beef stock, not broth
14 oz diced tomatoes, 1 can, with liquid
2 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp celery salt
1 1/2 lb potatoes, washed & quartered
salt, kosher variety, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. You will need a pressure cooker/instant pot, to make this recipe.
  • 3. I like to use diced, not crushed tomatoes for this recipe. I find that crushed just melt into the sauce during cooking process; while diced hold up better.
  • 4. The Roast Since we are using a pressure cooker, most cuts of beef should work well. In this recipe I choose a chuck roast, but next time I am going to use a bottom round. The Potatoes I find that red and golden varieties work well in pressure cooking, but if all you have is russets... chuck 'em in. Peeling is always optional.
  • 5. If you are using an instant pot, you can brown the beef, and cook the onions, using the sauté setting, and make this a one-pot meal I prefer to do those steps in a separate pan/pot, but that is just me.
  • 6. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 7. Dice the beef, then sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
  • 8. Add the oil and butter to a skillet, or heavy-bottom pot, over medium-to-medium-high heat.
  • 9. When the butter melts, swirl the pan to mix it with the oil, and begin adding the beef in small batches to brown, about 5 minutes per batch.
  • 10. If the pan begins to go dry, add a bit more oil, as needed.
  • 11. Transfer the beef to the bowl of your pressure cooker/instant pot.
  • 12. Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions (plus a bit more oil, if needed).
  • 13. Cook until softened, 3 - 4 minutes.
  • 14. Add the tomato paste and mix into the onions.
  • 15. Add about 1/4 cup of the beef stock to the pan and deglaze by scraping about with a wooden spoon. Then, pour it into the pressure cooker.
  • 16. Add the remaining beef stock, diced tomatoes, parsley, and celery salt to the pressure-cooker bowl.
  • 17. Give the mixture a stir, lock down the lid, set the cooker to high, and cook for 12 minutes.
  • 18. After the 12 minutes, let the cooker sit for about 10 minutes, and then release any remaining pressure.
  • 19. Add the quartered potatoes, lock the lid down, set the cooker to high, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • 20. After the 5 minutes, let the cooker sit for about 5 minutes, and the release the remaining pressure.
  • 21. Check to see if the beef is tender, and the potatoes cooked through, and do a final tasting for proper seasoning
  • 22. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 23. Serve in bowls with some crusty bread and good conversations. Enjoy.
  • 24. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover beef. I usually make a big batch of pot roast on the weekend and then use the leftovers to make this stew during the week. It's a quick and easy meal that's always delicious.

This stew is also great for freezing. I often make a double batch and freeze half of it for later. When I'm ready to eat it, I just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat it on the stovetop.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just browned the beef and vegetables in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Then I cooked it on low for 8 hours. The beef was so tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectl

This stew is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the tender beef and potatoes, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I love that this stew is made in one pot. It makes cleanup a breeze. I also love that it's so versatile. You can add or remove vegetables depending on what you have on hand. You can also adjust the seasonings to your liking.
