Instructions

Preparing Meatless Beef Strips in Instant Pot

  • Take a large bowl with a lid or a large ziplock. Add 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour to it. Now add the meatless beef strips to it. Toss the strips with flour till these are coated with the flour. Set aside.
  • Place the inner pot inside the Instant Pot and plug it in. Press SAUTE MODE and set on High for 10 minutes. Once the screen displays HOT, add oil to the pot. Wait for 2-3 seconds and then add the meatless beef strips to the pot. Lightly saute them in the hot oil for about 5 minutes. Cover with a lid for few minutes. Then saute more. They should be slightly cooked. If required, do it in batches. 
  • Once these are done, take these out of the Instant Pot and set aside. Now add the red wine vinegar and deglaze the inner pot. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a spatula.  Cancel the Saute Mode.

Cooking the Vegan Beef Stew on Meat/Stew Mode

  • Now add Garlic + Onions. Give a good stir. Add Carrots + Potatoes + Celery to the pot. Stir again. Now add Bay Leaf + Thyme + Black Pepper to the pot. Stir and add the sauteed Meatless Beef Strips to the pot.
  • Pour the whole pack of Vegetable Broth/stock + Soy sauce to the pot. Stir again.
  • Close the lid of the instant pot. Place the floating valve on SEALING. Press the MEAT/STEW MODE and set on high for 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, dissolve the remaining 3 tbsp of all-purpose flour in 1/2 cup of water. Set aside.
  • Once the beeper goes off and the security valve drops down, open the lid carefully. Add the dissolved all-purpose flour. Cancel the KEEP WARM Button.
  • Now press SAUTE MODE and add the frozen green peas. Let the stew come to simmer and let simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust salt and black pepper as per taste. This stew will thicken with time. 
  • Serve it hot when ready.
