Step 1

Preheat the Instant Pot by setting it to saute HIGH.

Step 2

While the Instant Pot is preheating, combine the flour and salt in a large zip top bag.

Step 3

Add the stew meat to the flour and shake to cover the stew meat.

Step 4

Once the Instant Pot display reads HOT add the butter to the Instant Pot and allow it to melt.

Step 5

Once the butter is melted, add in the floured stew meat (discarding the extra flour) and brown the meat.

Once the meat is browned (about 10 minutes) add the beef broth and water. Scrape the bottom of the Instant Pot until all stuck on bits are removed from the bottom of the liner.

Step 7

Add in the au jus seasoning mix, worchestershire sauce, ketchup and parsley.

Secure the lid, position the knob to sealing. Cook on manual HIGH. If using tenderized stew meat, cook for 20 minutes. If using regular stew meat, cook for 35 minutes.

Step 9

While the stew meat is cooking, prepare the veggies.

Step 10

When the stew meat is done cooking and the Instant Pot beeps, quick release the pressure.

Step 11

Add in the veggies and pressure cook on HIGH for an additional 2 minutes. Again, quick release the pressure.

Salt and pepper to taste, and serve!
