Ultimate Bourbon Beef Stew: Instant Pot Recipe

    1 hr 5 mins
  • Total Time
    1 hrs 25 mins

Ingredients

  • A drizzle of olive oil, as desired
  • A generous portion of onion, roughly diced
  • A single clove of garlic, crushed
  • Tender chunks of beef stew meat, totaling 1 ½ pounds
  • A splash of flavorful bourbon
  • Chunks of potatoes, perfectly chopped
  • A can of drained black beans, 15 ounces
  • Sweet whole-kernel corn from a 14-ounce can
  • Sliced fresh mushrooms from an 8-ounce package
  • Chopped carrots, a pair of them
  • Seasonings: 2 teaspoons of salt, chili powder, black pepper, ground cumin, and a hint of ground cinnamon.

Step 1

Begin by activating the Saute function on your versatile pressure cooker, like the beloved Instant Pot®. Start by sautéing a delightful mix of oil, onion, and garlic until they begin to soften, usually taking around 3 to 5 minutes. Next, introduce the beef to the mix, ensuring to brown it thoroughly on all sides, which typically takes about 5 minutes. As the meat sizzles, pour in a splash of bourbon and deglaze the pot by scraping up any delicious browned bits at the bottom.

Step 2

Transition from Saute mode by integrating a medley of ingredients into the pot such as potatoes, black beans, corn, mushrooms, and carrots. Sprinkle a blend of seasonings like salt, chili powder, pepper, cumin, and even a hint of cinnamon over the hearty mixture of beef and veggies. Give everything a good stir to ensure each component is well-coated. Seal the lid securely and choose the Stew function, setting the timer for a cozy 45-minute simmer. Allow some time, roughly 10 to 15 minutes, for the pressure to gradually build its magic within.

Step 3

After the cooking cycle completes, initiate the natural-release method following the manufacturer's guidelines, usually taking around 15 to 20 minutes. Confirm that all pressure has dissipated and the valve has descended before cautiously unlocking the lid to reveal your delectable creation.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize airtight containers to store your fresh ingredients and spices, ensuring maximum flavor retention.
  2. 2. Separate your meat and vegetables in the refrigerator to prevent cross-contamination and maintain freshness.
  3. 3. Store any leftover stew in portion-sized containers for quick and easy reheating.
