Beef Ramen in the Instant Pot
Barbara is always brainstorming new recipes to use the beef stew meat that she has in the freezer. The family absolutely loves Mom’s Crock Pot Beef Stew, but she was looking for a slightly lighter dish.
If you do not have stew meat on hand, you can “make” your own by choosing a tough, lean cut of beef that will really benefit from the cooking process. Here’s a handy post about choosing the right meat for stews and dishes like this Instant Pot Beef Ramen Bowl.
