Ingredients 📝

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cubed 🥩
  • 1 large onion, diced 🧅
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced 🍄
  • 2 cups beef broth 🥣
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 🍶
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard 🟡
  • 1 cup sour cream 🥛
  • 2 tbsp flour 🌾
  • Egg noodles for serving 🍝
  • Fresh parsley for garnish 🌿

Instructions 📋

  1. Brown the Beef: Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode. Brown the beef cubes for 3-4 minutes until golden. This step locks in flavor! 🥩🔥
  2. Add Veggies and Broth: Add the diced onions, sliced mushrooms, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine. 🧅🍄🥣
  3. Pressure Cook: Close the lid and pressure cook on high for 35 minutes. Let the Instant Pot do its magic! 🕒💨
  4. Natural Release: Allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes. Then open the lid carefully. 🕙
  5. Thicken the Sauce: Mix the flour with a bit of water to make a slurry. Stir it into the pot along with the sour cream and Dijon mustard. Cook on sauté mode for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and turns creamy. 🥛🌾🍶
  6. Serve and Garnish: Spoon the beef stroganoff over a bed of cooked egg noodles and sprinkle with fresh parsley. 🌿🍝
