Instant Pot Beef Barley Stew Recipe! 

We love beef barley stew! The barley adds so much texture and thickness to this meal. We really love this recipe because it makes great leftovers!
If you want this recipe meatier, please add less barely.
When you brown your meat, make sure to do this in two batches so you don’t overcrowd your pan.
It is very important to quick release this on the Instant Pot because the barley will become mushy very quickly if you don’t.
On the 2nd day, this stew will be even thicker! The barley takes in all the water.
If you don’t have pearl barely, but you do have Quick Cook Barley you can still use this. Do everything the same, just don’t add the barley. Once you have cooked the meat with the broth and veggies you can add in your quick-cook barley and cook on sauté mode.
You can add your carrots either at the beginning or cook them separately if you don’t want them too mushy - it’s a personal preference and depends on what you are cooking that day!
