Ingredients
  

  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 2 large carrots, chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Sauce thickening ingredients

  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or you can use plain Greek yogurt)

Instructions
 

  • Instant Pot instructions:
  • Hit sauté on your Instant Pot. It automatically defaults to 5 minutes, which is perfect for this recipe.
  • Add onions and oil. Sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Add meat and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add in salt and pepper.
  • Add in carrots and bell pepper, paprika and tomato paste. Stir together.
  • Add in beef broth and stir. Liquid will almost cover the meat, but not fully.
  • Submerge the bay leaves.
  • Set the Instant Pot to high pressure/pressure cook for 25 minutes. Make sure the valve is at “sealing.”.
  • While that is cooking, make egg noodles according to package (or rice if you prefer).
  • Now it's time to make the rue/sauce. We call this sauce, "slurry.".
  • For the sauce/slurry, simply place all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined. The sauce will be a thick, creamy mixture (almost like the consistency of mayonnaise). This sauce will be added at the end.
  • When the timer on the Instant Pot turns off, turn it from "sealing" to "venting." This will release the steam.
  • Let steam naturally release for 5 minutes. This simply means to just let it set and rest.
  • Stir the slurry into the stew.
  • Remove the bay leaves and serve.
  • Enjoy!
