Instructions:

Step 1: Sauté the Beef:

Set the Instant Pot to “Sauté” mode and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.Lightly brown the beef chunks for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Add Aromatics and Mushrooms

Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Sauté for 2 minutes until softened.Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes until they release moisture.

Step 3: Deglaze and Add Liquids & Egg Noodles:

Pour in 3 cups of beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Stir in the dry egg noodles.Let them cook for 5 minutes.

Step 4:Pressure Cook the Beef Mixture:

Cancel the “Sauté” function. Close the lid, seal the valve, and set the Instant Pot to “Pressure Cook” (or “Manual”) on HIGH for 10 minutes.Once done, allow a 5-minute natural release before manually venting the remaining pressure.

Step 5: Finish with Sour Cream:

Quick-release the pressure and open the lid.Stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.

Step 6: Serve from the Instant Pot:

Leave the finished stroganoff in the Instant Pot for easy serving. The sauce should be creamy and cling to the noodles

Step 7: Plate and Garnish:

Serve the beef stroganoff on a white plate.Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.

FAQs:

  1. Can I use ground beef instead of stew meat?
    Yes! Brown ground beef in the “Sauté” mode for 5 minutes before proceeding with the recipe.
  2. What type of mushrooms work best?
    Cremini or white button mushrooms work well. For a richer flavor, try shiitake mushrooms.
  3. Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
    Yes! Use dairy-free sour cream and ensure all other ingredients are dairy-free.
  4. Can I use a different type of pasta?
    Absolutely! While egg noodles are traditional, you can use any short pasta like rotini or penne—just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  5. How can I prevent the “burn” notice on the Instant Pot?
    Ensure you deglaze the pot thoroughly after sautéing by scraping the bottom with a wooden spatula and avoid thickening the sauce until after pressure cooking.
