Instant Beef Stew

I love kitchen gadgets...like I really love them.  I have run out of room for them, and lets just say my kitchen is not small.  This one is worth making space and retiring some older machines!  I've been wanting one of these babies for a while, and loved seeing posts of those who used it, but never felt like I needed it right away.  My great hubby takes notes on my interests and got me one for Christmas.  We've had lots of fun trying things since then.  

We've done all sorts of things with this, and I am learning that some things don't save time, but others it is a game changer!  Like this stew for instance...it would have taken much longer to get this type of result in a crockpot or stovetop.  Awesome weeknight dinner with just a little bit of chopping.  Throw in a few rolls and BAM, comfort food at it's finest :)

Serves 6-8

2 pounds beef stew meat, (cut into bite-sized pieces)  We used a chuck roast

Once cooking time is complete, let Instant Pot sit for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes is up, quick release pressure, placing the valve to the venting position.
