Beef Stew

Kathy searched the web for a recipe for beef stew that was intended for the Instant Pot.  Here is the one she settled on from The Salty Marshmallow .  The recipe makes 6good portions, so I had 3 meals of beef stew.  

I like it so much that less than a week later, when we were considering what we could serve for dinner when my parents came over for my mother's birthday, I suggested the beef stew recipe again.  So, for the fourth time in less than a week, I ate beef stew.  Mom and Dad gave their strong approval, which meant this recipe was now destined for the Rumppe Roast Family Recipe Blog.  Even after serving my folks this time, we still have another meal of beef stew...wanna guess what is for dinner tonight?

From cutting board to table it takes about 2 hours.
