Instant Pot Beef Stew

"When you think about beef stew, you probably think about a pot slow simmering for hours and hours. Right? Well, this beef stew recipe takes just a fraction of the time, but still has that amazing homestyle slow cooked taste you’re looking for! And it couldn’t be any easier! Most of the time my recipes don’t have a “story” that go along with them, it’s just stuff I like to eat. This beef stew recipe does though. My husband was hosting a “guys weekend” for he and some friends and I’d mentioned the week before that I’d make them beef stew if they wanted. Two hours before it was time for them to get here my husband was like,” You’re still making us beef stew right?” And so I figured out a way to get it done."
