Low FODMAP Instant Pot Beef Stew

Total time1 hr 30 min

Prep time20 min

Cook time55 min

Tender chunks of beef chuck are seared until deeply browned, then pressure-cooked in a rich, wine-based broth until they practically fall apart with a fork. The Instant Pot does the heavy lifting here, building deep, slow-cooked flavor in a fraction of the time, with fresh thyme and a bay leaf infusing the broth as it simmers under pressure. Yukon Gold potatoes and carrots go in for a second, shorter cook so they turn tender without going mushy, soaking up all that savory, tomato-deepened broth. A finishing touch of fresh parsley brightens the whole bowl right before serving. This is warm, ladle-it-up comfort food, and it's a smart pick for a Low FODMAP dinner rotation when you want something hearty without the guesswork.

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 pieces.
