How to Make Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

Press the SAUTE button on your pressure cooker and drizzle in the olive oil. Add the diced white onion and quartered brown mushrooms. Sauté them together until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have shrunk down, about 5-7 minutes. This step is essential because it builds a flavorful base for our stroganoff.

Step 2: Prepare the Meat

While the mushrooms cook, grab a medium bowl to combine your cubed stew meat with kosher salt, pepper, dried oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Once those mushrooms are ready, spread the seasoned meat over them evenly. This allows all those lovely flavors to meld together beautifully.

Step 3: Add Sauces and Broth

Drizzle everything with Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, then pour over beef broth or stock. Stir gently to combine. Now set the lid on your Instant Pot, press the MANUAL button, and cook for 18 minutes while making sure your valve is sealed properly. Meanwhile, cook your egg noodles according to package directions; drain them once done.

Step 4: Thicken the Sauce

Once cooking time is up, manually release the pressure carefully. While that’s happening, whisk gluten-free flour with water until smooth in a small jug. Remove the lid from your pot and pour in this slurry while stirring well.

Step 5: Final Touches

Press SAUTE again and set for another three minutes to let everything bubble away until thickened nicely. Finally, add those cooked egg noodles into the pot along with freshly chopped parsley if desired—this adds brightness and freshness to every bite!
