Instant Pot Irish Beef Stew

This Instant Pot Irish Beef Stew is hearty, delicious and so easy to make in the instant pot. We made this for a delicious Irish inspired dinner recently.

This stew has chunks of tender beef, hearty cabbage, potatoes, carrots and celery. It’s full of flavor and perfect for a chilly night.

The instant pot makes the beef in this stew super tender and it does it in a short amount of time. It should melt into your mouth.

I usually keep frozen stewing meat in my freezer because I buy them in bulk from Costco then portion them out into 1 pound bags and freeze them. You can also use fresh beef chunks for this stew or if you don’t have that on hand, you can use ground beef or even ground sausage.

I use a potatoes O’Brien mix in this stew because it’s easy and cuts down on the prep work. You can also use diced potatoes in it’s place.
