How Long to Cook Beef Stew (Cubed Chuck) in the instant pot
Specification: 2 lb chuck cut into 1.5-inch cubes, potatoes, carrots, onion, 2 cups beef broth
3-Step Execution Protocol
Add beef stew (cubed chuck) (2 lb chuck cut into 1.5-inch cubes, potatoes, carrots, onion, 2 cups beef broth) to the Instant Pot inner pot. Seal the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Select High Pressure (239°F / 115°C) for 20–25 mins.
Cook at High Pressure (239°F / 115°C) for 20–25 mins. Use 10-minute natural release.
Beef cubes are fork-tender and break apart easily; vegetables are soft but hold their shape; broth is rich and thickened. After 10-minute natural release, carefully open the lid away from you. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
