Hearty Beef and Vegetable Stew in the Instant Pot (Paleo, GAPS, Keto)

Paleo beef stew

While you can use your Instant Pot for many things, it’s really excels at making a delicious stew.  Stew meat, a cheaper cut for those who are watching their budget, turns tender and flavorful with just minutes of pressure cooking.

The chunky vegetables give this stew color, flavor, and structure- we opted to omit any thickener (traditionally corn starch) to keep this hearty paleo stew allergy friendly and super easy to prepare.

This recipe serves a crowd, and gets even better re-heated the next day as leftovers.  Feel free to adjust the veggies to what you have on hand and your family’s preferences.

Why the Instant Pot?

I love making this in my Instant Pot, since it’s easy to brown the stew meat right in the bottom before adding the other ingredients- and then it’s ready in less than an hour.  This method is faster than the slow cooker that needs to work all day to tenderize the tough beef.

    This looks delicious. I am thinking of buying an Instant Pot soon, and always looking for dinner recipes.

    Can you use something in place of the tomato paste? I have histamine intolerance and can’t do tomatoes.

      Hi Sarah, I’d probably choose a different recipe since the base of this is tomato.
