This rich, meaty stew, full of tender vegetables, clocks in at much less time than a stovetop stew, thanks to your electric pressure cooker. Carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and sundried tomatoes contribute hearty, savory flavor and sweetness. For the most tender stew, buy a chuck roast and cut it up yourself, rather than buying cubed stew meat, which can come from a tougher cut. Instead of thickening the stew with flour, which can burn on the bottom of the Instant Pot, sprinkle dry instant mashed potatoes into the gravy right before serving. They meld seamlessly into the sauce to create a velvety, stick-to-your-ribs consistency. Serve the stew with warm French bread to sop up all the delicious juices from the bottom of the bowl. The recipe, which makes 8 cups, is a Yummly original created by [Ivy Manning](https://www.yummly.com/dish/author/Ivy-Manning).
