Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons olive oil
1–1/2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup non-alcoholic dark malt beverage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced

Instructions

Set Instant Pot to Saute mode and heat olive oil.
Season beef with salt and pepper and sear in batches until browned, then remove.
Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in tomato paste, brown sugar, and garlic, cooking for 1 minute.
Deglaze the pot with the non-alcoholic malt beverage, scraping up browned bits.
Return the beef to the pot, then add beef broth and thyme.
Seal the lid and cook on High Pressure for 35 minutes.
Use a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then release remaining pressure.
Add potatoes and carrots, then pressure cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Do a quick release, season to taste, and serve hot.

Notes

Ensure all brown bits are scraped from the bottom of the pot to prevent the burn error. The non-alcoholic malt beverage provides the signature dark color and depth of flavor without the need for alcohol.
