Delicious and flavorful Puerto Rican Carne Guisada or beef stewed made using an Instant Pot.

You need to try Carne Guisada or Puerto Rican Beef Stew, and if you think you are going to mess this up, then may I suggest this Instant Pot recipe?

I love Carne Guisada, and I was so afraid to try it using a pressure cooker. I made this Puerto Rican beef stew with my slow cooker, but after purchasing an Instant Pot back in 2016, everything has changed.

Now hear me!

If you love to try Puerto Rican recipes, then may I suggest purchasing a Crock-Pot Express Crock Programmable Multi-Cooker or an  Instant Pot (IP)?

Having these two things will change the way you cook and for the better!

For this simple carne guisada recipe, it's very simple and you can add potatoes and olives; but we left those out because my husband doesn’t enjoy olives and I didn’t have any potatoes left. I know, how terrible for me!
