Instant Pot Beef Stew Made w/ Leftover Beef Ribs or Steak
As I always say…use what you got for a really great soup…like Beef Stew!!
This meal is also amazing for leftover steak or roast. You can also just pick up some inexpensive stew meat. This meal can be made with just about any beef!
Once you are done cooking the broth – get as much meat as possible off the bones. I also used a small sliver I had leftover from the roast too. You can use roast – steak – or any other kind of beef basically!
In a pan (or in the Instant Pot) melt butter and sautee the onions. Then pour in the red wine if using and cook it down. Up to you!
Add all of the other ingredients to the pot. Set to stew and let it cook!
Serve with Vortex Air Fryer toast points!

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 onion peeled and chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- ½ cup red wine optional
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes halved
- 4 carrots peeled and cut into ¼-inch rounds
- 2 ribs celery cut into ¼ inch slices
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup frozen peas thawed
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch for thickening, see notes
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 pound leftover beef leftover beef or steak, trimmed and cut into inch cubes
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a 6-qt Instant Pot, heat oil using the saute function. Add onion and garlic and cook, while stirring, until tender, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in wine if using and simmer for 2-3 minutes while scraping up any brown bits in the bottom of the pot.
- Add tomato paste, potatoes, carrots, celery, bay leaf, and Italian seasoning. Stir in broth (do not add the beef yet).
- Turn the Instant Pot onto high pressure for 9 minutes. Once cooked, quick release the pressure.
- Turn the soup on to saute and once boiling, stir in the peas. Combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Whisk into the boiling stew a bit at a time until it reaches desired thickness*.
- Add the cooked beef cubes to the simmering soup and let simmer 2-3 minutes or just until heated through. Do not overcook the beef. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Notes
This recipe uses leftover steak which is already cooked. Since the steak is cooked, it can be served a little bit pink inside and it is added at the end to cook heat through. If the steak cooks too long, it will overcook and become tough.
*Slowly mix in the cornstarch until the stew reaches your desired consistency, letting it boil slightly between additions. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture.

If the ribs are already cooked do you have to slow cook them again?
Hi Kay, if the ribs are precooked they should be fine without slow cooking them again.
