Sounds good! So, the beef chuck is cut into cubes prior to cooking???

A 6-quart instant pot will be a great choice for this recipe.

Thank you so much for your nice comments on the recipe.
This sounds delicious, but what kind of beef and how much should I'm use....it seems to be missing from the recipe? MTIA.
2-2½ pounds of chuck roast will be fine for this recipe.
