Instant Pot Beef Burgundy Stew

by

Instant Pot Beef Burgundy Stew is a savory comfort meal full of  fall-apart tender beef chunks and veggies. If Ina Garten and Julia Child created a beef bourguignon together – this would be it!

When you have a few pounds of beef tips, what do you typically lean towards? Beef tips with gravy? So do I! They’re tender, flavorful, and ridiculously easy. However, today I felt it necessary to exercise some creativity with that bag of beef tips.

While along the same wavelength of beef tips and gravy, this recipe takes it to the next level. Inspired by Beef Bourguignon, I wanted to offer up this classic made famous by Julia Child, but have it much easier to make. No braising and hours of waiting required today! Using your Instant Pot, you’ll be rewarded with tender meat and an ultra flavorful red wine gravy.
