Make this amazing low carb beef stew in less than an hour using your Instant Pot! I am making this in a 6QT instant pot but anything similar should work fine.

This recipe is good on those cold fall days where you just need something warm and savory. It’s hearty, comfort food packed full of flavor and veggies. And dinner will be on the table in less than an hour!

Making Low Carb Beef Stew In the Instant Pot

Start by pressing the “Sauté” button on the Instant Pot. Adjust to the “High” setting and press “Start”. (Some Instant Pot models only require you to select “Sauté” so yours may vary.)

Next, add two tablespoons of olive oil and allow the pot to preheat. Add the beef into the Instant Pot and season with salt and pepper. Brown the beef on all sides. This should take about 10-15 minutes.

Once the beef is browned, carefully remove the inside pot and pour the beef into a colander to drain the excess liquid. Set the cooked beef aside.

Place the silver pot back into the Instant Pot. Add the remaining two tablespoons of oil into the pot. Then add onion, carrots, celery, radishes, mushrooms, garlic, and thyme, and saute until onions are translucent for about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste, stirring to combine.

After pouring in the beef broth, scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the browned beef cubes and stir. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn it into place. Press “Pressure Cook” and then select the preset for “Stew”. Confirm the setting of “High” heat and 35 minutes. Switch the valve to “Seal” and press “Start”.

When the stew is finished cooking, perform the steam release by switching the valve to vent, or naturally by waiting about 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove the cover, stir the stew to incorporate and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions

On the Instant Pot, press the “sauté” button. Adjust to the “high” setting and press “start”. (Some Instant Pot models only require you to select "saute") Add two tablespoons of olive oil and allow pot to preheat.
Add the beef into the Instant Pot and season with salt and pepper. Brown all sides of the beef, which will take about 10-15 minutes. Once the beef is browned, carefully remove the inside pot and pour the beef into a colander to discard the excess liquid. Set the cooked beef aside and place the silver pot back into the Instant Pot.
Add the remaining two tablespoons of oil into the pot. Then add onion, carrots, celery, radishes, mushrooms, garlic and thyme, and saute until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Next, add the tomato paste and stir to combine.

Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn into place. Press “Pressure Cook” and then select the preset for “Stew”. Confirm the setting of “High” heat and 35 minutes. Switch the valve to “seal” and press “start”. When the stew is finished cooking, release pressure manually by switching the valve to vent, or naturally by waiting about 10-15 minutes.
Carefully remove the cover, stir the stew to incorporate and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve as is, or over cauliflower mash. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and enjoy.
