For a richer flavor, sear the frozen meat in the Instant Pot before adding the other ingredients. If you don't have red wine, you can substitute with an equal amount of beef broth and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your taste. Remember that the flavors will concentrate during cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, parsnips, or turnips, to the stew.
