Instant Pot Balsamic Beef Stew

Few things I love more than this hearty Instant Pot Balsamic Beef Stew because it is basically the perfect meal with beef, carrots and potatoes all cooked in some nourishing broth.

I decided to vary from the classic flavors and add some balsamic vinegar to this beef stew to add some depth of richness in the flavor. Balsamic and beef are a wonderful flavor combination in general and unquestionably one of my personal favorites.

The best part about this balsamic beef stew is that it is designed for the instant pot which means that it only takes 30 minutes to cook. How amazing is that?!

If you don’t have an instant pot I would highly recommend looking in to buying one. I honestly don’t say that about many kitchen appliances but this one is worth every single penny. They definitely go on sale ALL the time on Amazon and I currently have THIS one and can’t even tell you how much I use this kitchen appliance.

The instant pot can cook just about anything in about half the time or possibly even more and I think we can all agree that life is busy and saving time on meals is always a win.

This balsamic beef stew is great for the upcoming fall and winter season because it can feed a crowd or you can make a batch to have as some meal prep for the week.

Enjoy!

Notes

• As you sear the batches of beef you may need to add more oil if the bottom of the pot begins to dry up. Add more oil as needed.
