Beef Stroganoff

Making beef stroganoff in the instant pot has changed everything! This family favorite, comfort food has been elevated by making it in the instant pot. No more babysitting the pan on the stove all day to get the most tender juicy beef ever. The instant pot infuses the flavors into the beef creating a robust and savory taste that is scrumptious. The mushrooms and onions add that little bit of something extra. And the sour cream gives it a smooth creamy texture with a bit of tang that is classic with stroganoff. Making it all in one pot saves on clean up, which is always a plus. Also using an instant pot keeps the heat from heating up your whole kitchen. Pressure cooking beef allows the tough fibers to break down even faster and more thoroughly, guaranteeing melt in the mouth beef. A perfect compliment to the noodles and broth. My family loves stroganoff and I love how easy the instant pot makes it! This is a must try!

Beef: I used stew meat in this recipe because the instant pot helps it become tender and juicy. You can also use chuck roast cut up into bite-sized pieces. Ground beef can also be used successfully. Cook the ground beef till no longer pink and drain off the grease. Remove from the instant pot and then saute the vegetables as the recipe directs. Mushrooms: Not everyone is a fan of mushrooms, you can either leave them out or substitute them for zucchini or beans. Noodles: You will need enough liquid to just cover the dry noodles before cooking them. If you need more liquid add more beef broth to just cover.Thicken: If your stroganoff is too liquidy, after cooking turn on the saute feature and boil off any extra liquid. Sour Cream: Using full or low-fat sour cream work best, non-fat does not provide the creaminess and can end up looking separated.Storage: This can be kept in a tightly covered airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove top. I do not recommend freezing as the dairy will separate and it will not warm up well.
