Hearty Beef and Tomato Stew

• Stovetop Method:
  1. Drizzle olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat until the oil is hot and glistening.
  2. Add the cubed beef and sear on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, until the meat and vegetables are tender. Serve and enjoy!
• Instant Pot Method:
  1. Drizzle olive oil in the Instant Pot bowl, using the sauté function. When heated, add the beef, browning on all sides.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients, seal the Instant Pot, and select the meat/stew setting (about 35 minutes).
  3. Once cooking is complete, allow the Instant Pot to sit for about 12 minutes, then release the steam by switching the valve to the venting position. Serve and enjoy!
• Crock Pot Method:
  1. Drizzle olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef and sear on all sides, about 5 minutes. (You can skip browning the meat, but it enhances flavor.)
  2. Transfer the beef to the Crock Pot, add the remaining ingredients, cover, and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. Serve and enjoy!
