Savory Instant Pot Pork Stew

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Instant Pot Pork Stew.

1. Step 1

   Begin by activating the Sauté function on your Instant Pot and warming the olive oil for about a minute.

2. Step 2

   While the oil heats, season the pork pieces generously with salt and pepper.

3. Step 3

   Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned pork to the pot, cooking and stirring occasionally until each piece is beautifully browned on all sides, which should take around 4 to 5 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Next, sprinkle flour over the pork, stirring for 1 to 2 minutes to ensure an even coating.

5. Step 5

   Pour in the rich red wine, savory beef broth, and a dollop of tomato paste, using a spatula to scrape the bottom of the pot and lift any flavorful browned bits.

6. Step 6

   Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, lock it in place, and set it to high pressure for 15 minutes, allowing about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.

7. Step 7

   When the timer goes off, carefully perform a quick release of the pressure, which will take roughly 5 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Once the pressure has fully released, unlock and remove the lid.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to add a medley of chopped onion, baby carrots, celery, minced garlic, and bay leaves to the pot, stirring everything together to create a harmonious blend of flavors.

10. Step 10

    Lock the lid back on, set the Instant Pot to high pressure once more, and cook for another 15 minutes, allowing an additional 5 minutes for the pressure to build again.

11. Step 11

    After this second round of cooking, repeat the quick-release method to let out the steam, which should take about 5 minutes.
