Instructions
Combine the Arrowroot powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Then, add the beef chunks and dredge them in the powder combination.
Heat the oil in your Instant Pot on “sauté”. Then, carefully add the beef, not letting the pieces touch each other. Brown for 3-5 minutes on each side. Remove the beef to a plate and set aside.
Pour one cup of the beef broth into the hot Instant Pot and scrape with a spatula to pick up the tasty, browned bits.
Place the browned beef along with the rest of the ingredients into your Instant Pot.
Place the cover on the slow cooker and lock. Set at high pressure for 30 minutes.
When the cooking time has finished, let the Instant Pot release naturally for 15 minutes. Then, carefully “quick release” the remaining pressure. There should not be much.
Before serving, remove the bay leaves and taste the stew again to adjust seasonings if necessary.
Notes
TIP: You will likely have to work in batches depending on the size of your Instant Pot. It’s important to give the beef a little room between pieces for even cooking. Add a little more oil each time you change batches.
