For a richer, more complex flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste and a splash of red wine vinegar to the broth mixture. If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove the roast and vegetables after cooking. Then, engage the Sauté function and whisk in a slurry of cornstarch and water until the desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, create your own beef stew seasoning mix by combining dried onion flakes, paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to your liking. This allows for greater control over the sodium content and overall flavor profile.

Follow The Directions
01
StepEngage the Sauté function on your multi-functional pressure cooker (e.g., Instant Pot). Add olive oil and allow to heat for 1 minute, until shimmering. (Total time: 1 minute)
02
StepCarefully sear the venison roast in the hot oil for 2 minutes per side, creating a rich, flavorful crust. This step is crucial for developing depth of flavor. (Total time: 4 minutes)
03
StepDeactivate the Sauté function. In a separate bowl, combine the beef broth and stew seasoning, whisking until fully dissolved. Pour this savory mixture over the seared roast. (Total time: 2 minutes)
04
StepSecure the lid, ensuring it's properly locked. Select High pressure and set the timer for 120 minutes. Allow approximately 10 minutes for the pressure to build. (Total time: 130 minutes)
05
StepOnce the cooking cycle is complete, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, following the manufacturer's instructions. This should take around 5 minutes. (Total time: 5 minutes)
06
StepIntroduce the halved potatoes and carrots to the pot. Gently spoon the flavorful sauce over them, ensuring they are well coated. (Total time: 3 minutes)
07
StepRe-secure the lid, again ensuring it's properly locked. Select High pressure and set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow another 10 minutes for the pressure to build. (Total time: 20 minutes)
08
StepFinally, allow the pressure to release naturally for approximately 15 minutes. This gentle release helps prevent the meat from toughening. (Total time: 15 minutes)
09
StepSeason generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth of this hearty dish.

Sep 22, 2024I didn't have baby carrots, so I used regular carrots and chopped them into chunks. It worked just as well.
