Preparation
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté. Melt butter, then sauté the meat for 2-3 minutes, until browned.

- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. Cover and lock lid into place. Select meat/stew function, cook on high for 35 minutes.
- Once fully cooked, allow for a natural pressure release.
- If the stew ends up too soupy, whisk in cornstarch until the desired texture is reached.
- Enjoy!
