Ingredients
Liquids
- 2½ cups water
Meat
- 2-2½ pounds sirloin, chuck roast, or ground beef
Grains
- 1 cup white or light brown rice*
- ¼ cup rolled oats
Vegetables & Fruits
- 2 cups sweet potato, peeled and chopped

Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Pour 2½ cups of water into the Instant Pot insert, then add all remaining ingredients in the order listed, starting with the beef at the bottom.
- Seal and Cook: Lock the lid in place ensuring the sealing knob is turned to sealing. Set the Instant Pot to cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes.
- Pressure Release: Allow the pressure to release naturally once cooking is complete, ensuring the stew finishes cooking gently.
- Stir and Combine: Remove the lid carefully and stir all ingredients until well combined to create a hearty, evenly mixed stew.
- Store: Store the stew in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, transfer to freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
- Serving Suggestion: Mix the stew with your dog’s kibble in a 50/50 ratio (for example, ½ cup stew with ½ cup kibble) and add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed to help combine.
Notes
- If using regular brown rice instead of white or light brown rice, cook the stew on High Pressure for 20 minutes followed by a natural pressure release.
