  • Combine 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder, garlic, onion, salt, and seasoning in a quart-sized resealable bag. Add beef stew meat and toss to coat.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add butter and olive oil and allow to get hot. Add meat and cook until browned on all sides, in batches if necessary, 5 to 10 minutes per batch. Add mushrooms and stir to combine. Mix in beef broth, vinegar, and tomato powder. Cancel Saute function.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
