  • 1 lb stewing beef, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

  • 1 (796mL) can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth

  • Add olive oil to Instant Pot and set to saute. Add beef and season with salt and pepper, then saute for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Add in carrots, celery, onions, garlic, Italian seasoning and mushrooms, stirring well to combine and sautéing another 2 min.
  • Add diced tomatoes, beef broth and pearl barley in that order. Turn off sauté mode and place lid and set to sealing, then pressure cook on high for 8 minutes.
  • Do a natural pressure release (you can also do a quick release but the beef may not be as tender) and then serve with a little bit of fresh parsley overtop and some crusty bread. Enjoy!
