  • Add remaining ingredients: Stir in tomato paste, beef broth, and spices like cinnamon and cloves.
  • Pressure cook: Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for about 35 minutes until the beef is tender.
  • Release and thicken: Use a natural release, then thicken the sauce if needed by simmering with the lid off on sauté mode.
  • Serve and garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and enjoy!

  • Tips for Perfect Stifado

    • Use pearl onions if you can find them — they’re traditional and add a lovely sweetness. Frozen pearl onions are a great substitute!
    • Don’t skip the wine — it’s key for authentic flavor, but you can use grape juice or extra broth if needed.
    • Adjust the spices to your taste. Some like a bit more cinnamon, others add allspice or nutmeg.
    • Serve with crusty bread to soak up every last bit of that luscious sauce.
