A quick and easy Instant Pot dump recipe using simple ingredients to create a hearty, flavorful meal with minimal effort. Perfect for busy weeknights and adaptable to various dietary preferences.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless chicken thighs or beef stew meat, cut into chunks
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil (optional, for browning)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Optional: Chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients by rinsing and chopping veggies and cutting meat into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic finely.
  2. Optional: Turn Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode, add 1 tablespoon oil, and brown meat in batches until golden (3-4 minutes per batch). Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté chopped onion and garlic until fragrant and softened (2-3 minutes).
  4. Return browned meat to the pot. Add carrots, potatoes, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour in broth, tomato sauce, and soy sauce evenly over the top without stirring.
  6. Secure lid and set Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 15 minutes (chicken) or 20 minutes (beef). Ensure valve is set to ‘Sealing’.
  7. Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then switch valve to ‘Venting’ to release remaining pressure.
  8. Open lid carefully, stir gently, adjust seasoning if needed, and garnish with fresh herbs.
  9. Serve warm with crusty bread or a green salad.

Notes

Browning meat before pressure cooking adds extra flavor but can be skipped for time. Layer ingredients without stirring to avoid burn warnings. Use natural pressure release for tender meat. Add extra broth if burn warning appears. Adjust seasoning after cooking.
