Instant Pot ABC Vegetable Beef Soup/Stew

 We had some left over prime rib from Christmas. This is what I made to use it up. 

Instant Pot ABC Vegetable Beef Soup/Stew
3 to 4 c. diced beef (Cooked or raw)
2 T. oil
4 cloves garlic, minced or 2 t. garlic powder
1 c. diced onion
1 c. diced celery
1 lb. mini carrots
2 c. frozen corn
1 pint green beans
3 c. potato chunks (I didn't peal them)
15 oz. diced tomatoes
5 c. water
2 T. beef bouillon
1/2 t. oregano
1 t. season salt
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
7 oz. alphabet macaroni
brown gravy mix for thickener (if desired)

Turn Instant Pot to SAUTE, add oil and meat and brown if using raw meat.  Then add garlic, onion, celery and carrots and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes more. 

Turn off the pot and add corn, green beans, potatoes, tomatoes, water, and seasonings.  Seal and cook on High pressure for 8 minutes.  Allow pressure to release naturally. 

Meanwhile cook the alphabet pasta according to package directions. Drain, rinse and set aside.

Open Instant pot and stir in the macaroni and serve or if you desire a thicker stew add 1 to 2 T. brown gravy mix to desired thickness.
