Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ pounds cubed beef stew meat
salt and ground black pepper to taste
20 small baby red potatoes
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
3 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 large stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ medium onion, roughly chopped
1 (1.5 ounce) package dry beef stew seasoning mix
1 tablespoon beef base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 (16 ounce) carton chicken broth, or as needed

Steps:

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil and stew beef; season with salt and pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally, until all beef is browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Hit Cancel.
Add potatoes, fire-roasted tomatoes, carrots, celery, onion, seasoning mix, beef base, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and bay leaves. Pour in enough chicken broth to cover all ingredients without going over the 2/3-fill line. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 10 minutes. Then release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
