Why You’ll Love This Instant Pot Beef Bean Stew Recipe

  • Comfort Food: This Beef Bean Stew is warm, hearty and perfect for cold days.

  • Nutrient-Rich: Loaded with protein from beef and fiber from beans, it’s healthy and filling.

Beef Stew Ingredients

To make this tasty and delicious beef recipe you will need the following beef stew ingredients. We used a 15 bean dry mix, however if you can’t find a 15 bean mix, you can use a bean mix with less beans. I’m sure it will taste just as great! 

  • Beef Stew Meat: Adds a rich depth of flavor and satisfying texture to the stew.
  • Onion (Chopped): Forms the base of the stew, providing a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the richness of the beef.
  • 15 Bean Dry Soup Mix, Omit The Seasoning Pack: Add a variety of textures and flavors, while also providing plenty of fiber and protein.
  • Diced Tomatoes: Provide a vibrant color and a slight tanginess to the stew, balancing out the heavier flavors of the meat and beans.
  • Chicken Stock: Forms the liquid base of the stew, providing a subtle poultry flavor that enhances the taste of the other ingredients.
  • Salt: Enhances all the other flavors in the stew, making them more pronounced and delicious.
  • Cumin Powder: Adds a warm, earthy flavor to the stew, giving it an extra layer of complexity.
  • Garlic Powder: Gives a robust, savory taste that ties all the other ingredients together, rounding off the stew with its distinctive flavor.
