I just made the stew and when I open my pressure cooker, the smell was so strong like an ammonia smell I’m not for sure what the smell is. I didn’t notice my beef broth was outdated by three months but I figure we should still be OK. I added corn is the only thing I did different than what you called for. Do you have any idea what went wrong or why that smell so I’m having to throw the whole thing away away

made this tonight and it was so good and meat so tender! Thanks!
I requested to join the FB group last week and it is still pending. I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone is doing and enjoying all the tips that are sure to be there.
My hubby is anxious for me to try this stew – it looks really flavorful! ;-D
Thanks so much guys. It turned out great. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
the way this was filmed so up close was hard to watch
Trying this tonight, you are always dependable for some terrific recipes ❤
This is the 200th comment do I get a prize?
That spoonful looked like whoever had it first threw up because he forgot to put the ketchup. …Ketchup in the stew? You must saute the beef and onion for some taste and color first,maybe little red wine …Cooking is like painting you must know how to blend the colors
Thank you for this recipe. I want to make this for dinner tonight. I want to introduce my flat mate to beef stew as he has never had it before. He is from Beirut and he makes wonderful Lebanese dishes. We have been trading recipes and he has NEVER had this. I knew I could count on you to have the perfect recipe, as well as easy dump and go. Think I will make some “good ole” southern corn bread to go with this.
Why don't you saute the beef first?
the fill lines for the liquid.
You're so good that when I went to hit the Like button I noticed I had already watched your video. 🙂
Delicious, thank you!
Made this last night. It was delicious. So easy. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you.
Hi Kristen, I'm making your beef stew from frozen in the instant pot. How long should I cook it from frozen.
Hello, Kristin! can you please tell me what size IP you are using? I have the 6 qt. Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Air Fryer lid that my Son just gave me for my Christmas and Birthday present. Thank you AND I really like your videos about how to use and recipes. It sat there a couple of days before I got brave enough to open it and hoping it would not blow up the kitchen, me, or it. I was sharing with my family that I cooked water and it turned out excellently so I cooked bacon and it was crispy just like I enjoy it. It was a big step for me to just perform the "water test". I didn't even "jump out of my skin" when I released the pressure at the end. 🙂
Veggies don’t get over cooked in 30 minutes?
How much meat??
We tried this tonight…. Turned out perfect, taste is great… Looking forward to more of your recipes…!
You dont have to brown the beef?
Oh my goodness I thought that I was the only one who put ketchup on top of their beef stew LOL thank you for confirming I'm normal LOL
Came home from meetings, my hubs/bishop is still in meetings. It's 9:30 p.m. so by 10 dinner will be done. I had everything, now I'm getting hungry. Sounds yummy. Thanks SSS
What is the cook time for same recipe but with frozen meat? 😘
add the veggie at the end for 5 minutes …
on your written ingredients list, you forgot to put the onion soup mix. That's ok because I caught it! It looks yummy and I'm going to try it tonight. Thank you!
Can you freeze all these ingredients and cook it later?
Hahaha…2 thumbs up on adding ketchup…lol. I grew up doing it too!!
Thanks for the great recipes!
marry me? ok no but honestly great video! thanks
I was going to try this in my slow cooker but I don’t see the instructions for that…
How much stew meat?
How come no one uses the beef stew button
I put that ( ketchup ) on everything.
Don't like mushy potatoes or carrots. Can I cook for 15 min then add carrots and potatoes and cook for additional 15? Or some other timing split that will cook veggies evenly. And if I cut recipe in half, is it still 30 min?
The end result looks a bit pale. I would have taken the time to brown my meat till crispy brown on both sides (this would give the stew a richer look), added the liquid into the meat and as she said would put the onion soup mix in the bottom with the meat then pile in the rest of the ingredients, but would let the pressure cooker do a natural release for at least 15 minutes before doing the quick release, however her family was starving! 🤣
How many servings?
How long do I cook it if my meat is frozen?
Thank you ma'am…I added a few extra seasonings to mine but that junt was 🔥! I decided at the last minute to do a beef stew and found your video and said "Yeah , I GOT THIS!" A sister was dancing when she tasted this soooo good! I just bought my instant pot last month so it's not broken in yet but it will be.😍
This is beef veg soup, not beef stew! But looks good!
Wow! Bought an instant pot on Black Friday and it sat till I saw your vid three nights ago. I was pumped to try this recipe! It went PERFECT! Great weekend grub! Thank you for the encouragement!
Can i freeze it? What are the adjustments I have to make?
Yay, I found your channel last week. I bought my instant pot today. I am going to make this with venison. I love your videos.
So….no need to flour the stew meat?
How about adding red wine?
This has become one of my most frequently made instant pot meals. Love it. And so easy to modify, I've done it with pork, chicken, added some rice and a bit more liquid. Just a great, easy, tasty dinner. Thanks so much!
Looks like baby food
It would help me — don't know about others…maybe they're smarter than I am — if you would mention whether you're using the six or eight quart Instant Pot.
I think the potatoes look mushy and blended too much with everything, maybe cut a bit bigger.
This comment is late, but wouldn't it be better for taste to dredge the beef chunks in flour first and then sauté the beef until the outside is brown? The flour would also add to thickening up the liquid in the stew.
