Easy 6-Ingredient Instant Pot Beef Stew (Makes the Best Leftovers!)

There’s nothing I love more than simple-to-follow recipes—the easier, the better. That’s exactly why I love recipes like this. This 6-ingredient instant pot beef stew is pretty straightforward but the resulting stew can only be described as spectacular. The recipe uses boneless beef chuck that has been cubed and then cooked in a homemade sauce that’s made with flour, beef broth, and tomato sauce. In addition, you’ll be adding a mix of frozen stew veggies (celery, potatoes, carrots, and onions) along with your choice of either Italian seasoning or dried parsley. All you’ll have to do is add everything into your instant pot and leave it to pressure cook. You’ll be hooked once you see how tender the beef is thanks to the instant pot.
