Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 2 lb beef stew meat cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 carrots chopped
  • 3 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 lb potatoes cubed
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 cups bone broth or beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot starch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Turn the Instant Pot on to Sauté and add ghee.
  • Sprinkle the beef stew meat with salt and pepper evenly.
  • Once the Instant Pot indicates that it's "hot," add the meat and cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned on all sides.
  • Add garlic and onion and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Turn off the Instant Pot and add carrots, celery, potatoes, tomato paste, bone broth, and thyme. Stir together.
  • Screw on the lid and set the pressure valve to Sealing.
  • Cook on Manual HIGH for 30 minutes. Once it beeps to a finish, release pressure naturally for 15-20 minutes until the lid slides open easily.
  • Turn the Instant Pot on to Sauté setting.
  • Make a roux by whisking together arrowroot starch and water, and pour into the stew.
  • Let this simmer for 2-3 minutes until the stew is thickened.
  • Add more salt if needed, then sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
