Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs beef chunks
- 2 shallots
- 4 tbsps olive oil
- 13 oz green peas
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 can diced/crushed tomatoes if you can use fresh tomatoes, just dice them or liquify them in an electric food chopper.
- 3 tbsps fresh dill
- 1 sweet potato
- 3 cups water
- salt/pepper to taste
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 avocados
Instructions
- Chop shallots, dill, carrots and sweet potato. Keep all ingredients separately.
- Saute meat in olive oil in Instant Pot.
- Once meat is browned, add chopped shallots and minced garlic. Mix well so onion doesn't stick the bottom of IP. Continue stirring occasionally until onion becomes translucent.
- Add chopped carrots to browned meat and onion.
- Add green peas to the mix. Continue to stir occasionally so all vegetables get a bit of cooking time and start getting soft.
- Add chunks of sweet potato to green peas and meat. The reason i cut the sweet potato in big chunks is that it cooks a bit faster than the meat. In the stove top, i would add it halfway through. However, since I'm cooking this in IP and i don't want the sweet potato to disintegrate completely, i add it in big chunks.
- Add chopped dill (just 2 tbsps - leave the rest for decoration at the end). Mix well and let everything saute a bit longer and the flavors start to mix.
- Add 1 can of diced or crushed tomatoes, mix well and let cook for few minutes. I prefer using fresh, soft tomatoes whenever possible.
- Add 3 cups of water, salt and pepper to taste and close IP. You can add broth instead of water. Also, feel free to add more spices to the stew.
- Set Instant Pot to a meat setting for 30 minutes. Serve with few sliced of avocado on top and sprinkle with fresh dill.
