This Instant Pot Beef Ramen Bowls recipe uses beef stew meat, frozen vegetables and instant ramen noodles to make a flavorful meal the entire family will enjoy. This is also a great way to use a leaner, tougher cut of beef to cut up into stew meat.
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.
