Ninja Foodi Beef Stew

Looking for family favorites that used to take all day to make but now can be made in under an hour, then you came to the right place! You can make Ninja Foodi Beef Stew in less than an hour.  The days of little it simmer on the stop top for hours are long gone, thanks to my Ninja Foodi. And there’s also no more babysitting the stew and stirring it to make sure it doesn’t burn on the bottom. I literally spend about 15 minutes prepping and the rest of the time I can do other household chores while the stew cooks in the Ninja Foodi.

To make your own Ninja Foodi Beef Stew you will need the following –

1 1/2 lbs Beef Stew Meat
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
3 cloves Garlic
1 Onion
1 bag Baby Carrots
1 lb Potatoes
2 1/2 C Beef Broth
10 oz Tomato Sauce
2 tbsp Cornstarch
2 tbsp Water


The beginning of this recipe does require a little work.

First, you are to dice your onions, chop the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and mince your garlic.

Set your Ninja Foodi on saute, high and let it warm up. Add the oil now too. You can use olive oil or vegetable oil or any oil you prefer. I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil. You will know the oil is hot when it starts to glisten.

Add the stew meat, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to the Ninja Foodi. You want to brown the meat on all sides.

Once the meat is browned, add the beef stock and use a spatula or wooden spoon to clean off the sides of the pot.

Next, add the Worchestershire sauce, garlic, onion, carrots, potatoes, and tomato sauce.

Place the pressure cooking lid on your Ninja Foodi and be sure the steam vent is closed.

Set the Ninja Foodi on pressure cook, high for 35 minutes.

When it’s done, let it do a natural release for 10 minutes then open the steam valve and finish with a quick release.

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Stir the mixture until the cornstarch is dissolved.

Pour the mixture into the beef stew and stir until the sauce starts to thicken.

This is great with a piece of crusty bread too.

Keeps best in the fridge for a few days. I do not suggest freezing leftovers because the potatoes can taste off and be too mushy when you try to reheat it.
