I’ve started to love cooking with stew meat in my Instant Pot! I love how you can pressure cook cheap cuts of beef and make them delicious tender! You can create many recipes using stew meat that is not stewed! I love how stew meat can cook in your instant pot in a matter of minutes, while it takes much longer when you cook a whole roast. You can use stew meat for any meat recipe to cut meat and brown. I have readers asking questions about what to do with stew meat other than stew. I’ve compiled a list of crowd-pleasing 30-minute dinners that will taste amazing! 
What cut of meat is Stew Meat?
Braised meat is beef made from inexpensive cuts of meat that have hard connective tissue, i.e. baboon or round. When you pressure cook the meat of the stew in your Instant Pot, the connective tissue breaks down and melts in your tender mouth.
What can I do using Stew Meat Besides Stew?
You can use stew meat for any recipe that calls for cutting beef. When stew meat is cooked in its Instant Pot, it is tender enough to be applied to recipes that would require shredded meat or ground beef.
What are some tips for cooking stew meat in your Instant Pot?
- When you buy stew meat in the store, it can come in fairly large pieces. I like to cut those pieces into smaller pieces before cooking them in my Instant Pot, especially if I mimic a “shredded meat” recipe with stew meat. Most of these recipes can also be made with other cuts of beef, such as chuck roast. I would be sure to chop the meat into smaller pieces when making these instant pot recipes.
- I like to use the stir-fry feature on my Instant Pot to brown the meat lightly before pressure cooking. Do not cook the meat thoroughly before pressure cooking, but browning improves the taste.
- Many of these beef stew recipes can be adapted for a slow cooker. Check out each recipe before adopting it.
How long do you cook
stew meat in your pressure cooker?
Cooking time may vary when cooking stew meat in your instant cooker. If you are cooking only stew meat, I like to cook it for 15 minutes and let the pressure release naturally if I want it to melt in your tender mouth, but if you are pressed for time, you can use a lower cooking time: 8-10 minutes and use a quick release.
