Instant Pot German Stew
Tender German style stew meat cooked in the Instant Pot with carrots, onions and a warm mustard broth. This is a simple weeknight beef dinner that comes together fast and tastes like it simmered all day. Serve over noodles, potatoes or with homemade biscuits for a hearty meal your family will love.
Ingredients
- 2-3 pound stew meat
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 large carrots cut into 1/4" round chunks or 1 pound baby carrots.
- 1 large onion cut into 1 inch chunks
- 2 stalks celery cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 15 oz can beef broth/stock
- ⅓ cup brown mustard
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Start out by combing the pepper and flour in a bowl to dredge the stew meat in. Stir the flour and pepper together.
- Add the oil into the instant pot and turn it on to warm up the oil.
- Dredge the meat in the flour mix and put into the Instant Pot.
- Mix the mustard, broth and cloves together, pour into the mix.
- Add the veggies and into the pot.
- Add the water into the pot and close the pot.
- Press the meat/stew button on the instant pot or cook for 55 minutes.
- Allow pressure to natural release.
- Serve with noodles if desired or over potatoes.
- As an alternative to this recipe, you could use a beef roast. I would recommend you cut it into 2 -3 pieces so that it cooks quicker and evenly. My personal opinion is that it will be more tender this way too.
- You can also make a rue and make a gravy with the juices, and turn it into a pot pie recipe!
