Instant Pot Chinese Beef Stew (Hong Kong Style)
Serves 815 mins prep30 mins cook
As soon as the weather cools down, I’m pulled straight toward warm soups and hearty stews. This Instant Pot Chinese beef stew brings all the nostalgic Hong Kong flavors I grew up loving -tender beef, soft vegetables, and a richly seasoned sauce that tastes like it’s been simmering for hours. Except… the Instant Pot delivers it in about 30 minutes!
