Thicker Beef Stew

If desired, thicken the sauce with a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in some water.

Instant Pot Recipe

Use the saute setting to brown the beef.

Use the “Soup/Stew” setting to pressure cook the beef mixture for 15 minutes.

Release the pressure and add the remaining ingredients and cook for another 15 minutes on “Soup/Stew” setting.

Low-Sodium Beef Stew

Store-bought tomato juice has a massive amount of added salt. Swap out the tomato juice in the ingredient list for no-salt diced tomatoes to drastically reduce the sodium in this recipe.
