Beef Pot Roast, Cream of Mushroom Soup?
I sure hope this sounds good to you because it turned out amazing. OurInstant Pot Beef with Cream of Mushroom Soup recipe was an Instant Pot test recipe from the other evening.
I love cream of mushroom soup which was the inspiration behind this recipe. Last week we made a Mushroom Soup With Crab that turned out so very good it hung around in the back of my mind wanting more.
I live in Austin, Texas and we love our beef down here, plus it's cold outside which usually means soup or chili. I have an amazing Texas Chili Recipe you can try this season. You can make the chili in your instant pot; use the same settings in this Instant Pot Beef Stew recipe.

How to Make Instant Pot Beef with Cream of Mushroom Soup
Step 1:Begin with the beef. I used chuck beef roast. Widely available and works excellent when cooked using an Instant Pot.
- Slice the beef into manageable sizes. Cut the beef into 1 to 2 inch cubes or strips.
- Season the beef with Cumin, Oregano, Ancho Chili Powder, Garlic powder, and Smoked Salt if you can find the ingredient.
If you cannot find smoked salt, I suggest using smoked chipotles in adobo sauce. Mainly you will want to use the adobo sauce, not so much the chipotles. Add 1 Tablespoon and marinate the beef for 15 minutes; overnight is perfectly ok.
Step 2: Add to the Instant Pot the cream of mushroom soup, plus the beef stock, and mix together.

Recipe: Homemade Beef Stock
Step 3: Add carrots, potatoes & onion to the instant pot. Chop the vegetables any way you enjoy. One tip would be not to cut the potatoes too small. The potatoes will not stand up to the pressure cooking if in small pieces.
Step 4: Add the seasoned beef to the Instant Pot
Stir the seasoned beef around in the cream of mushroom and beef stock to help flavor the base. Add a pinch of salt and 1 cup of water.
Secure the Instant Pot lid, making sure the plastic o-ring is inserted.
Pressure Cooker Settings For Beef Stew
Instant Pot Mode:Stew / Meat
Temperature:"Normal" see in the photo below where my finger is pointing? The three settings listed as "less," "Normal" and "More are temperature settings.
Timer: Set for 40 minutes
Once the timer goes off, wait 10 minutes then perform a quick release.
Instant Pot Quick Release
Quick release is the process of removing all the pressure from inside the Instant Pot within 2 to 10 minutes. It can take up to 10 minutes to release all of the pressure. The longer, quick release time is directly related to the amount of liquid inside the Instant Pot. More liquid, longer pressure release time.
Process: Make sure the Instant Pot isn't underneath kitchen cabinets. Once the pressure begins to release, steam will shoot out the exhaust valve.
Using a tool, like a knife, slide the sealing valve from "Sealing' to "Venting". You can open the Instant Pot lid once the pressure pin on the top of the lid drops back into the lid.
You now know how to perform an Instant Pot Quick Release safely.

Cooking Suggestion

If the chuck beef has already been cut and cubed from the grocery store and the pieces are small, reduce the cook time on the Instant pot from 40 minutes to 35 or 30 minutes depending on the size of the cubed beef.
