Gluten Free Instant Pot Beef Stew with Red Wine

This deeply savory stew leans on well-seared beef chuck, softened onion, and garlic bloomed with tomato paste for a rich, dark base before a full cup of dry red wine deglazes the pot and works its way into every bite. Pressure cooking turns tough chuck fork-tender in a fraction of the usual time, while Yukon Gold potatoes, carrots, and celery simmer right alongside it until perfectly tender. A quick cornstarch slurry at the end thickens the broth into a glossy, spoon-coating gravy without any flour needed. Fresh thyme and bay leaves keep the flavor deep and herbaceous, and a scatter of chopped parsley brightens the finished bowl. It's a hearty, one-pot dinner that fits neatly into a gluten free rotation, no special equipment or extra steps beyond your Instant Pot required.

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)

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.
