Equipment Needed for Instant Pot Stroganoff

You need the following equipment ready:

• a knife and chopping board
• measuring cups and spoons
• a wooden cooking spoon
• an electric pressure cooker
• a plate to set aside the browned beef

Steps

1 – Brown the Beef:

To make sure the meat turns out flavorful, season it well with salt and pepper before browning.

To brown, set the instant pot to “sauté” and melt some butter in the inner pot.

To make sure the beef actually browns (and doesn’t turn soggy), work in three batches to brown it. Don’t stir too much while browning the meat, or it won’t brown enough – more color equals more flavor!

Remove the browned beef to a clean plate and set aside.

2 – Start the gravy:

Next, stir the chopped onion, garlic, mushrooms and thyme into the hot instant pot.

Cook until softened, about 3 minutes, while stirring from time to time to prevent sticking and burning.

Next, stir in the flour and cook for about one minute while stirring constantly. Make sure it doesn’t burn!

Finally, stir through the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot (make sure you get them all or you may get a burn warning).

Switch off the instant pot, the. stir the meat back into the pot.

3 – Pressure cook:

Close the lid and set the valve to the “sealing” position.

Press the “manual” or the “pressure cook” button (depends on your instant pot model) and set the timer to 12 minutes.

Once the cooking time is up, let the instant pot do a natural pressure release for 4-5 minutes, then manually release remaining pressure.

4 – Cook the noodles and finish the dish:

Open the lid and stir the dry egg noodles into the pot.

Close the lid again, setting the valve to “sealing”. Choose “manual” or “pressure cook” and set the timer to 3 minutes.

Once the cooking time is up, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions. Open the lid and stir through the sour cream.

Serve immediately!
