Instant Pot Beef Curry Stew

I can't believe that I never posted an Instant Pot recipe or video of me making Japanese Beef Curry Stew. I first started making this when I got my IP two and a half years ago and it's WAY better in the IP.  It only takes 25 minutes IP cooking time and the meat is so tender.  There's no need to let it simmer for hours to get the meat soft. A few years back I previously posted the stove top version of this recipe and I'm happy to say that I now have an IP version.  Ingredients are all the same, just with a few minor adjustments for the IP conversion.

INSTANT POT JAPANESE BEEF CURRY STEW

INGREDIENTS:

2-3 lbs. chuck roast, cut into cubes
2 tbsp. garlic, minced
2 cups baby carrots
1 cup celery, chopped
2 large russet potatoes, cut into large cubes
1/2 onion, diced

4 cups water
1 large or 2 small pkgs. S&B curry sauce 
oil

DIRECTIONS:

Turn IP on to saute and add about 2 tbsp. of oil.  Add stew meat and brown for about 5 minutes. Add onions and celery and stir. Add carrots, potatoes, and water.  Cover with lid. Hit meat/stew button and adjust timer to 25 minutes. Be sure pressure valve is at sealing.  When timer is over, let NPR for 10 minutes and then QR.  If liquid starts to leak out of valve, just slowly release the valve to let the pressure release slowly. Once pressure pin drops, open lid and gently stir the pot. Turn off IP and turn on to saute. Let come to boil and add curry blocks. Gently stir until curry blocks are dissolved. 

Serve over hot rice and enjoy!

Hey Hey...

Wassup stranger?! I know I've taken another hiatus since I last posted way back in September. YIKES!

Most of you in my Facebook world know the one BIG reason for that added with the lil booger going to preschool, hubby coaching football, and then the holidays rolled on in soon after. I've been though pretty active in using the Instagram app and posting all kinds of pictures especially recipes I've found off of Pinterest that turned out well.

I will get back into posting recipes when I survive through the lil manapua's first birthday party we're planning. Which by the way I hope to take enough pictures of since I'm doing a whole lot of DIY decor and such.

However, I just may be able to squeeze in a recipe or two in the meantime. Just be on the lookout ;o).

The Blog Has Been...

Resurrected!!

It's been a LONG while, I mean LONG while since I blogged on here. I just checked the date of my last post and it was in September. Sheesh!!

I could tell you a billion reasons why I haven't blogged but I'll spare you the details. However, one of the BIGGEST reasons is that we added to our little ohana who was born in January. We had another baby boy and he has kept us all very busy.

Now that things have settled a bit, I may be able to blog here and there even if it's little tid bits of something.

I've missed blogging so here I go!
