Made in the Instant Pot! This is one of my favorites!! The slowly melting poblano whipped cream on top is like the icing on a cake! It’s so good, I can’t get enough! You can add more veg and peppers to your stew if you like, I kept this simple so the potatoes and cream would stand out.
Serves 4
1 lb beef stew meat
1 Tsp salt
1/2 Tsp garlic powder
1/2 Tsp chili powder
1/2 Tsp paprika
1 Tbsp flour
Mix all of these together ans set aside.

3 Carrots, sliced
2 Celery stalks, sliced
1 Cup mushrooms, quartered
1 Can diced tomatoes
32 oz Beef broth or stock
1 Bay leaf
1 Tsp sugar
1 Tsp onion powder
1/2 Tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Heat up Your Instant Pot on saute mode. Add oil and beef, just sear them off for 6 minutes flipping them.
Add beef broth and make sure to scrape the bits off the bottom of your pot. Add the rest of the ingredients and set you IP to pressure cook mode and set it to cook for 30 minutes,
When its finished, vent manually or naturally.Turn your IP back on saute mode to heat up. Whisk together 1/4 cup water and 2 rounded Tbsp of cornstarch and add it to stew. Cook until it thickens. About 5 minutes.

3/4 Cup milk or half n half or more if you need it
Cook potatoes until fork tender, drain. Heat up milk, cheese, butter, onion powder, salt and pepper in pan. Pore into potatoes adding green chiles and mash together. You can also add a cup of sharp white cheddar!
For the poblano whipped cream
1 Cup heavy whipping cream
1 garlic clove
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz Roasted poblano peppers (fresh, canned or frozen)
Drop all the ingredients into a blender and just whip it, whip good!!
To serve: Put a big spoonful of green chile mash in a bowl, ladle beef stew over top ans a generous spoonful of poblano whipped cream on top!!
Add extras into your stew, make it yours! But don’t forget the poblano whipped cream! Its to die for!!
