For a richer flavor, consider browning the lamb in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. If you prefer a thicker stew, add an extra tablespoon of potato starch to the slurry. Garnish with fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor and visual appeal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepWarm butter and olive oil in your Instant Pot using the Sauté function. Add the cubed lamb shoulder and brown on all sides until nicely seared (approximately 5 minutes). Remove the lamb and set aside.
02
StepAdd the diced onion and shallots to the pot and sauté until softened and translucent (about 4-5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
03
StepPour the white cooking wine into the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom to deglaze. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce slightly (3-5 minutes).
04
StepLayer the halved red potatoes and sliced carrots over the onions and shallots. Stir in the dried rosemary and thyme to evenly distribute the herbs.
05
StepArrange the browned lamb over the vegetables, then pour the beef broth over everything. Ensure the lamb is mostly submerged.
06
StepClose and lock the Instant Pot lid, sealing the vent. Select the 'Meat/Stew' function and set the timer for 20 minutes. Allow the pot to come to pressure (approximately 10-15 minutes).
07
StepOnce the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally (about 10 minutes).
08
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and potato starch until smooth to create a slurry.
09
StepCarefully unlock and remove the Instant Pot lid. Switch back to the Sauté function. Stir the potato starch slurry into the stew and cook, stirring constantly, until the stew thickens to your desired consistency (2-3 minutes).
10
StepSeason the stew with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
