Cuban Instant Pot Beef Stew (Carne Con Papas)

Step 1

Plugin the power cord of the Instant Pot and when the LED display reads ‘OFF’ (in standby mode), press the SAUTE button (with the lid off).

Step 2

Add the olive oil and the stew meat. Brown the stew meat, allowing it to sit between stirring to develop a sear on each side (note: it can be done in two batches.). Remove and place the meat on a plate or mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the garlic, onion and green pepper to the Instant Pot and sauté for 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the beef (with any accumulated juices) and all the remaining ingredients to the Instant Pot. Seal and select MEAT/STEW (which is preset for High Pressure for 35 minutes).

Step 5

When cooking is complete, wait 10 minutes then do a Quick Release. Serve over rice.
