Instant Pot Spiced Beef Stew With Mung Beans

This Spiced Beef Stew With Mung Bean Stew is classic comfort food made in an instant pot. This is not your typical beef stew. The tender beef is cooked in a mildly spiced sauce flavoured with Indian spices setting this stew apart from most.

This hearty dish is not shy on vegetables either. In addition to classic veggies typically used in stews, I added green mung beans. Mung beans are packed with astonishing health benefits and are native to India. They include protein, fiber, potassium, iron, magnesium and B-6.

The mung beans taste hearty and are excellent in stews because they take on the flavour of the spices and beefy flavour.  

using an instant pot will retain more nutrients vs stove top

The instant pot comes in handy for stew recipes because the stew cooks in a fraction of the time and retains most of the nutrients while cooked under pressure.

In this thick, wholesome, spiced beef stew, the aromatic spices infuse the beef adding tremendous flavour. What I love about this recipe is that I can have the most delicious stew on the table within an hour. The meat is tender, and the veggies are cooked to perfection, meaning they are not overcooked. 

What I like about the mung beans, they don’t overpower the stew. The mung beans add another texture while still keeping the delicious beefy flavour.

For serving, I like to add gluten-free naan bread, fresh yogurt, some lime wedges and fresh cilantro. If you want a bit of spice in your meals, you will enjoy this spiced beef and mung bean stew.
