A quick and creamy beef stroganoff made in the Instant Pot, perfect for busy weeknights. Tender beef, earthy mushrooms, and a tangy sour cream sauce come together in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds beef chuck roast or stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients by dicing the onion, mincing the garlic, slicing the mushrooms, and cutting the beef into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode and melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent and soft.
  3. Add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the beef pieces in batches and brown on all sides to lock in flavor.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
  6. Stir in the flour and Dijon mustard until smooth to start thickening the sauce.
  7. Lock the lid in place and set the Instant Pot to ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ on high for 10 minutes.
  8. Perform a quick release once cooking is complete.
  9. Remove the beef and mushrooms with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  10. Stir sour cream into the sauce off the heat to prevent curdling.
  11. Cook egg noodles separately according to package instructions (usually 7-8 minutes), drain, and toss with the stroganoff sauce and beef.
  12. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve.

Notes

Do not skip browning the beef to add flavor and keep it juicy. Deglaze the pot thoroughly to avoid burn warnings. Stir sour cream in off heat to prevent curdling. Cook noodles separately and slightly undercook to finish in the sauce. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch and use gluten-free noodles. For dairy-free, replace sour cream with full-fat coconut cream and omit butter or use a dairy-free alternative.
