Notes
Instant Pot Instructions:
To make this in your Instant Pot, follow all of the steps above, except place the ingredients in your IP instead of a slow cooker.
Rather than browning the beef in a skillet, you can do it in batches in your IP, using the "Saute" option.
After all of the ingredients have been combined, close and seal your Instant Pot.
Press the "stew" button and adjust it to cook for 45 minutes on high pressure.
Let it run the cycle, and allow the pressure to come down naturally.
