Using the Sauté Function On Your Instant Pot
Real talk: at first using anything other than the pressure cooking on our Instant Pot was intimidating to us. So, if you are new to Instant Pot cooking, trust us when we say we get that it seems like a machine from the future that is a tad intimidating. We hear you, so this Instant Pot Beef Stew is a great introduction to using the “Sauté” button if you’re unfamiliar with it so far!
You Can’t Do That In Your Crockpot
This is one of the many reasons we favor our Instant Pot over our Crockpot more and more. You can’t sauté or sear things in your crockpot, but YOU CAN in your Instant Pot. And it’s so easy! You just hit the “Sauté” button, and let you Instant Pot heat up. Once it is ready, add whatever you want to sauté. In this case, onion and then ground beef. Once it starts to cook and you can break it up how you want it, you just hit the “Cancel/Keep Warm” button and then cook as desired. We used the “Soup” button for this recipe. And it was done ALL IN ONE POT. Amazing!
The Flavors
You will love the smoky, savory and sweet flavors of this Instant Pot Beef Stew. They really come together so well, and since it’s still winter and squash is available, we used delicata squash. However, since this is an easy recipe to add to your regular rotation, you can swap the squash with sweet potato or yams when squash is no longer in season.
