Notes

Notes:
Instant Pot Beef Stew: If you prefer the thicker texture of stew vs. soup, reduce your beef stock by 1 cup and reduce au jus gravy mix by ¼. 
Beef Cuts: This soup recipe works well with many types of beef. While this list is not exclusive, the following beef cuts work well:
  1. Top round
  2. Bottom round
  3. Chuck roast (higher in fat content)
  4. London broil
  5. Stew meat
  6. Sirloin tip
  7. Eye of Round
  8. Top sirloin
