How to Make Lamb Stew in an Instant Pot
This recipe was created to be made in an Instant Pot for a super quick and easy, one-dish meal. No stovetop or oven required! Simply throw it all in the Instant Pot, set for 50 minutes on high, and enjoy a steaming hot stew in less than an hour. While I normally choose the Instant Pot for speed, this recipe can absolutely be made using a slow cooker instead! Instead of 50 minutes on high heat, set your timer for 3-4 hours on high heat, or 7-8 hours on low heat depending on your slow cooker.
Making Lamb Stew is easy, and as mentioned previously, requires only one dish! This recipe calls for only 8 ingredients and just a few minutes of hands-on time.

Lamb Stew Instant Pot FAQ
While beef is more commonly consumed than lamb in America, they can be interchangeable in most recipes! Beef has a savory, mildly sweet flavor, while lamb is similar, except with a gamier, earthier flavor.
Yes! While this recipe was made for the Instant Pot, it can easily be made in the slow cooker instead. On a low setting, this recipe should take 7-8 hours, and on a high setting, 3-4 hours depending on your slow cooker. Add more broth as needed, and always keep an eye out as machines vary!
Here at Clean Cuisine, we have no problem with potatoes, and actually believe them to be very healthy! However, we know that potatoes can be problematic for some. Celeriac is a great alternative for those needing to avoid potatoes, and is very similar in texture!
We always prioritize pasture raised lamb when possible. Pasture raised lamb are allowed to freely roam pastures, eating grass like they’re meant to!
You can absolutely substitute pasture-raised lamb for grass-fed beef in this recipe!
