This gluten-free beef stew is one of my favorite go-to meals and is packed with nutrients, protein, and deep, rich flavors, making it perfect for cozy nights and meal prep alike. Using a pressure cooker like the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot, you can create a tender, mouthwatering stew in a fraction of the time it would take on the stovetop.

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs cubed grass-fed stew meat, seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika

• 1/2 onion, diced

• 1 head of garlic, minced or whole cloves

• 4 potatoes (mix of gold and russet), diced

• 3 large carrots, sliced

• 4 stalks of celery, chopped

• 3 cups Kettle & Fire beef bone broth

• 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

• 2 bay leaves

Instructions:

1. Sauté & Brown the Meat:

   • Set your pressure cooker to Sauté mode. Add a small amount of oil and brown the seasoned stew meat on all sides. This step enhances the stew’s depth of flavor.

2. Add Ingredients:

   • Pour in the beef bone broth and apple cider vinegar.

   • Add the bay leaves, garlic, potatoes, carrots, and celery. Stir to combine.

3. Pressure Cook:

   • Secure the lid, ensuring the nozzle is set to Seal.

   • Set the pressure cooker to High Pressure for 30 minutes.

4. Natural & Quick Release:

   • Allow a 5-minute natural release before carefully using a quick release to release the remaining pressure.

5. Serve & Enjoy:

   • Remove the bay leaves, give the stew a good stir, and adjust seasoning if necessary.

   • Serve fresh and enjoy the tender beef, hearty vegetables, and rich broth.

   • This stew tastes even better as leftovers as the flavors deepen over time!
