We want to show you how to make our vegan beef stew instant pot recipe in 25 mins! We use vegan beef tips from gardein but you can use any vegan beef substitute you want.
I grew up in a non-vegan home where beef stew was always a staple during the winter. After becoming a vegan athlete, I found a way to make my beef stew vegan! Stew is just so filling and it warms your entire body which is very necessary for these cold winters.
Most traditional stew recipes will need to cook for at least a couple of hours, but with an instant pot, this vegan beef stew recipe is cooked in 10 min!

How To Make: Instant Pot Vegan Beef Stew
Instant pot recipes are so quick & easy! For this vegan stew, you just add your ingredients to the instant pot & it’s good to go! We used seasonal vegetables for this recipe to make it nutritious and delicious, but you can use any vegetables you like in a stew!
Chop onions, celery, and carrots into equal sizes.
Chop your potato into 1-inch cubes. Optionally, if you want to add rutabaga, peel and chop into 1-inch cubes. To peel rutabaga simply put your knife at a 45-degree angle and slice off the outer layer of the skin one chunk at a time. If you chop off the ends first it’s easier to see where to peel.
Add all the veggies and seasoning (mentioned in the recipe card below), except for the cornstarch, into the Instant Pot. Stir to make sure they’re all combined.
Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
While stew cooks in a separate bowl combine cornstarch and water into a slurry.
Add corn starch slurry into instant pot stew and stir continuously until slightly thickened. Done!
Serve with toasted bread or dumplings.
We used Gardein Beef Tips for added protein and texture but you can make a vegan stew without them, or use whichever vegan beef tip product you love! Also, make sure you don’t skip the vegan no beef bouillon! We tried making this recipe with vegetable bouillon and it just didn’t have the same flavour profile. I linked the one we use (and love) below.
Vegan Beef Stew
Kitchen Equipment I used for recipe:
The 9-1 absolute unit Air Fryer, Instant Pot, Dehydrator – I was actually very anti-Instant-pot/Air fryer for a long time and bought a couple in the past and could never get them to work or make any of the food taste good. This spaceship of an appliance changed everything! I make everything in it now! Desserts, Dinners, Dog Treats, you name it and I can make it in this beast. Highly recommend!
Vegan, no beef, beef bouillon – We use the paste one but their cubes work the same way! I haven’t found any products that add as much flavour as “Better Than Bouillon” products can. Note: this stuff is potent so it can take over a dish. If it’s your first time using it add in a little.

Instructions
Vegan Beef Stew
Chop onions, celery, and carrots into equal sizes.
Chop potato into 1-inch cubes. Peel and chop rutabaga into 1-inch cubes.
Add all ingredients to the pressure cooker except cornstarch. Stir to make sure they’re all combined.
Seal and cook on high pressure for 10 min.
While stew is cooking, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch to 1 tablespoon water (more if you want it thicker) in a separate bowl.
When the stew is done in the pressure cooker stir in the cornstarch slurry.
Serve with toasty bread or dumplings.
Pups Notes
Try not to use old red wine that’s been sitting out that will change the flavour of it. Crack a fresh bottle and enjoy yourself while you cook!
Don’t add the cornstarch directly into the stew. It will clump up and won’t have the desired effect. Turn it into a slurry (see instructions) first then add.
