Instant pot Instructions:

Combine beef, tomato paste, and seasonings and place in the instant pot. Add water just until it reaches the top of the beef. Add potatoes and Carrots and cook on high (the beef setting) for 30 minutes. Do a natural release for 10 minutes and enjoy! If you would like a thicker broth simply create a slurry of warm broth and flour (1 T flour to 2 T broth) and add that to your beef stew.

Crock Pot Instructions:
