The beef turns out incredibly tender, and the sauce is luxuriously creamy without needing a long simmer. It’s a go-to for busy weeknights when you crave something satisfying and homemade.

Ingredients for the Quick Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff

To create a beef stroganoff that’s both rich and quick, you need ingredients that can stand up to pressure cooking while delivering classic flavor.

• Beef stew meat
• Yellow onion
• Garlic
• Mushrooms
• Beef broth
• Worcestershire sauce
• Dijon mustard
• Egg noodles
• Sour cream
• Salt and pepper
• Olive oil
• All-purpose flour

Each of these ingredients plays a role in building depth. The beef provides the savory base, while onion, garlic, and mushrooms add layers of umami. Beef broth, Worcestershire, and mustard give the sauce its distinctive tang, and sour cream brings it all together with creamy richness.

How To Make the Quick Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff

Step 1: Sear the Beef

Set your Instant Pot to “Sauté” mode. Add olive oil, then brown the beef in batches until nicely seared. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Build the Base

Add chopped onions and sliced mushrooms to the pot, sautéing until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook briefly. Sprinkle in flour and mix to coat.

Step 3: Pressure Cook

Return the beef to the pot, then add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine. Seal the lid, set to “Pressure Cook” on high for 10 minutes. Allow natural release for 5 minutes before quick-releasing the rest.

Step 4: Cook the Noodles

Switch back to “Sauté” and stir in the egg noodles. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes until the noodles are tender.

Step 5: Finish with Creaminess

Turn off the heat and fold in the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and creamy.
