Weight Watchers Instant Pot Beef Stew
Do you use your electric pressure cooker to make a lot of Weight Watchers friendly meals? It is a big time-saver for me. I like that you can just throw all the ingredients into the pot and make this soup without much hassle.
Ingredients for Weight Watchers Instant Pot Beef Stew
- 1 lb lean beef cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 3 cups beef broth
- ½ teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cloves garlic
, minced
- 1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup of celery, chopped
- 1 cup of corn (frozen, fresh or canned–drained)
- 1.5 cups red potatoes, cubed with skins on or off
How to Make Weight Watchers Instant Pot Beef Stew
I left the skins on the red potatoes, but if you prefer you can peel them before dicing.
Click Sauté on the Instant Pot
Follow by the carrots, celery, salt and pepper and sauté for another 4 to 5 minutes.
Turn off Sauté and add the rest of the ingredients into the Instant Pot.
Hit the Manual button and 17 minutes and let it release naturally. My pot took about 25-30 minutes to do this process. I prefer my meat to be really tender. You can add more time if desired to make sure the meat is nice and tender!

Points for Weight Watchers Beef Stew
This delicious Weight Watchers Instant Pot Beef Stew serves 8 and is only 3 points per cup on the myWW Blue and Purple plans. There are 4 points for the Green plan. What a yummy, warm dinner! I figured the recipe using lean beef chuck roast for stew meat. Different cuts of meat could calculate a littler higher.

The flavours of this are really good, but the potatoes and carrots came out mushy and overcooked. I’d probably find a way to add them later in the cooking, or to vent the stew after 10-15 minutesinstead of letting it vent on its own.
Made this the other night. Very delicious and great leftovers.
My husband is not a big fan o tomatoey dishes. Could I leave out the tomato sauce? Or even substitute something.
Any suggestions for thickening this up? Great flavor!
You could make a slurry with some cornstarch…
This stew is delicious! I love my Instant Pot, and having one more easy and reliable recipe for it is a bonus. It will also help me stay on track, with so much flavor and satisfaction for so few points.
