Ok you guys win, stew it is. I picked up a couple of nice looking chuck roast yesterday so I'm going to give it a try. I may have missed it, but do you smoke the meat before you cube and sear. I may give the Insta pot a try.

I did not see a need to smoke the meat before hand as I added smoke paprika to the flour mix used on the meat when browning it, however I am sure it would add a very nice flavor.  Also I ma not a fan of the instant pot as I always like tasting the dish as I cook it.  I found I could not do that easily with the instant Pot.  In fact I gave mine away.

Kristin made a nice one yesterday from the left over Omaha.  I asked her to leave the potatoes out as I like mine over mashed potatoes.

Thanks Urnmor for the input, I've decided to cube then smoke on frog mats for 1 hour at 150° on the DC. The jury is still out on the Insta pot. Decision will be made real time. Will omit smoked paprika. I ended up with 3.5 lbs. of cubes and .5 lb. trim. my intent is to bake then boil trim to make broth.
