Dairy Free Instant Pot Beef Stew with Red Wine

Deep-seared beef chuck gets that gorgeous crust before it simmers down with red wine, garlic, and tomato paste into a broth that's rich enough to eat with a spoon. Yukon Gold potatoes, carrots, and celery cook right alongside the beef, soaking up every bit of that Worcestershire-spiked, thyme-scented liquid until they're perfectly tender. The Instant Pot does the heavy lifting here, turning a tough cut into fork-shredding stew in a fraction of the usual time, and a quick cornstarch slurry at the end thickens everything into a glossy, spoon-coating finish. A scatter of fresh parsley brightens the whole bowl right before serving. It's a cozy, stick-to-your-ribs dinner that fits neatly into a dairy free rotation, no fuss required.

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine (such as cabernet sauvignon or merlot)
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
2 bay leaves

Instructions

1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels, then season all over with the salt and pepper.
2
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (high). Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add the beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms and the pieces release easily from the pot. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and repeat with the remaining batch.
