I have seen many different versions of stew recipes created in an Instant Pot some a little more complicated than others. I decided to keep it simple. I started with the meat and just piled on the rest of the ingredients. Mixed everything up good, sealed the Instant Pot, and pressed the stew button. Once the instant pot reached pressure the timer automatically set for 35 minutes – for me the end result was perfect, but I like my vegetables real tender. If you prefer your vegetables a little on the firm side you may want to reduce the time to 25-30 minutes.
