Hi Guys! I’m wrapping up my Instant Pot Monday series…for now at least. Don’t worry, I’ll still be creating plenty of IP recipes but next up in my weekly Monday post series is Sheet Pan Dinners! Oh man, do I love sheet pan dinners. So simple, easy clean-up, and perfectly nutritious and balanced. Stay tuned for next week’s quick and easy family friendly meal idea.
Back to this week’s Instant Pot Monday recipe – another classic family favorite, Instant Pot Whole30 Beef Stew! Who doesn’t love a good Beef Stew recipe?

To make this Instant Pot Whole30 Beef Stew, I used some Grass Fed Beef Stew Meat from my stash of Butcher Box meat and it couldn’t have been more delicious or simple! The beef stew meat comes perfectly trimmed of excess fat and is so tender and flavorful, perfect for this Whole30 Beef Stew.
Have you heard of Butcher Box yet? This is some high quality delicious meat, guys! All grass fed beef, and organic poultry and pork delivered frozen straight to your front door. I can’t say enough good things about the quality of this meat! Everything I have tried has been fantastic. And the convenience of having it shipped directly to my house is just awesome. In the past I have ordered the Custom Box but this month I went with the Beef/Chicken Combo. In this month’s box was 3 lbs organic boneless skinless chicken breast, 3 lbs organic chicken thighs, 2 lbs grass fed ground beef, 2 grass fed ribeye steaks, and 1 lb grass fed sirloin tips. There are tons of options based on your preferences – check it out here! Now is the perfect time to try it – new orders receive 2 free filet mignons, free bacon, and $10 off!

It’s a family-friendly, nutritious meal that feels all nostalgic and warm and cozy. 🙂
How to Make Beef Stew in the Instant Pot
First prepare all the ingredients. I like to keep the veggies cut into pretty large chunks so they don’t become overly mushy and break down too much in the stew while cooking.
Using the Saute function, brown the stew meat on all sides in some oil.
Once browned, add the vegetables and the rest of the ingredients.
Cook under pressure for 20 minutes on the Manual function.
For thickening the stew, stir some arrowroot powder (or cornstarch for non-Whole30) into a small amount of water and add it to the stew.
Tips for Instant Pot Whole30 Beef Stew
This recipe freezes great!
Add other root vegetables to the stew like parsnips and turnips.
For non-Whole30, stir in some green peas after cooking.
Add to your weekly Meal Prep and eat for lunches or freeze for later.
