Soup is one of the best meals (in my humble opinion, lol) especially during the winter months! It is cold here right now and I love the smell of soup cooking!! Finding delicious Weight Watchers recipes that also double as comfort foods is a big win for me. I think this Weight Watchers Instant Pot Beef Stew recipe is a win for sure! 
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!
Vintage and Farmhouse Decor Ideas
I found a site that I am LOVING…they have the cutest home decor items for amazing prices! You really need to check Decor Steals out!! Here are a few items that I am wanting to get.
This wooden box with wire handle will look great on my table or counter with napkins or silverware inside.
I like using these metal wire baskets in my pantry to hold lunch box snacks and spice packets.
A metal farmhouse storage table rack would look adorable in any kitchen.
Let me know what you think about this site and how awesome their prices are….did I mention shipping is just $5 per item…no matter how BIG!
FreeStyle SmartPoints for Weight Watchers Beef Stew
This delicious Weight Watchers Instant Pot Beef Stew serves 8 and is only 3 Freestyle SmartPoints per cup. 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…
