Easy Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff

  • When there’s a chill in the air, it’s time to make a classic beef stroganoff.
  • Comforting, filling, and so easy to make in the Instant Pot, beef stroganoff is one of the best recipes for getting a hearty, delicious dinner on the table in minutes!

Ingredients & Variations

BEEF: Any chunks of beef stew meat will work, even the more economical, tougher cuts because pressure cooking in the sauce will tenderize the meat. But if stew meat isn’t in the kitchen, ground hamburger, and even a bag of frozen meatballs will be just as good!

SAUCE: The savory sauce is made with a little broth and some sour cream and seasonings. In a pinch, use a can of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup along with the broth.

MUSHROOMS: Cleaned and ready to use, sliced mushrooms are a serious kitchen timesaver!

Instructions

Notes

Beef stroganoff will last in the refrigerator for 3 days.
