• 2 stalks celery, sliced
• 1 cup beef broth

• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Turn on the Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Add olive oil and wait until the pot is hot.

3. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the carrots and celery and cook for another 3 minutes.
5. Add the beef broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
6. Stir the ingredients until well combined.
7. Return the beef to the pot and stir well. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set it to high pressure for 35 minutes.
8. Once the cooking time is over, release the pressure naturally for 10 minutes before opening the lid.
9. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water until smooth. Add this mixture to the pot and stir well. This will thicken the stew.
