Instant Pot Irish Beef Stew
When the Irish come to mind the first thing I think of is pretty scenery and everything potato. However, that’s not just what the Irish are about. The Irish have wonderful cuisine it just depends on what you try. This Instant Pot Irish Beef Stew is simple and savory meal. Additionally the lamb can be supplemented for the stew beef.
With the instant pot this beef stew the recipe renders down fast making it an easy Irish beef stew recipe. We made mashed potatoes to serve with the stew. We just used a package of mix so you don’t have to be a gravy expert.
Although, if you would like to learn how to do the gravy from scratch just let me know in the comments. Using frozen peas and carrots makes this beef stew easy to make with less ingredients. Therefore, the recipe is budget friendly.
The Mashed Potatoes:
Mashed potatoes can be cooked on the stove while the stew is cooking. Additionally the potatoes can cook in the instant pot. If you are a lucky person who has two instant pots one for main dishes and another for side dishes you can do these to recipes side by side.
Did I mention my husband makes the best mashed potatoes on planet earth. I seriously eat them like people eat whipped cream. Instant Pot Duo – 6 Quart is the size of our pot that we make Instant Pot Beef Stew in.When it comes to beef stew it’s this ultimate comfort food.
Just love to cuddle up with a bowl of stew and binge watch Vikings or The Last Kingdom on Netflix. The recipe makes enough for 6 people or 2 people who want to eat on it twice at least with large bowls of it.
This will be the recipe I through together on St. Patrick’s Day along with some Irish soda bread. If you don’t want to get pinched don’t forget a green shirt. Really hope you enjoy this comfort food recipe as much as we do!
