Why you'll love this recipe

Not the traditional way of making classic Russian beef stroganoff but this one's definitely one of the easiest.

You will love this because:

  • It's a straightforward recipe with no complicated steps. Perfect for busy weeknights when you don't have much time to make dinner.
  • Tons of flavors in the creamy mushroom gravy. A sure instant family favorite.
  • Budget-friendly and economical recipe with the use of simple and low-cost ingredients.
  • Tender beef every time! Using an electric pressure cooker/ instant pot ensures you have tender beef every time. No need to worry about overcooking.

What you need

Here are the ingredients to make an easy yet flavorful beef stroganoff:

mushroom soup, onion, garlic, butter, sour cream

A few notes about the ingredients:

  • Beef Broth - Use a good quality low sodium beef broth. You can also use beef bouillon. I recommend using just half of it.
  • Onions and Garlic - skip the chopping and dicing by using onion powder and garlic powder. Yes, this recipe is very adaptable.
  • Butter - Use unsalted butter as the broth and mushroom soup has already enough salt. Substitute with vegetable oil like canola or olive oil if preferred.
  • Cream of Mushroom Soup - Use regular mushroom soup or less sodium based on your dietary requirement. Note that all canned cream of mushroom soup tastes the same so use your favorite brand.
  • Sour Cream - Use full fat for maximum creaminess and richness. Low fat sour cream is also fine if you prefer a lighter stroganoff sauce.
  • Worcestershire - adds a nice depth of flavor and extra savoriness to the dish. Traditionally, dijon mustard is used to balance the richness of the sauce.

What is the best cut for instant pot beef stroganoff?

The best thing about using an instant pot to cook beef stroganoff is you won't be needing expensive prime steak cuts like rib eye, beef sirloin, or beef tenderloin or sirloin.

Inexpensive beef cuts that are sold as braising (or stewing) beef work well for this recipe including blade, chuck, skirt, leg, and flank. Choose a cut with a nice marbled fat so it doesn't dry out during pressure cooking.

Mushrooms

Add fresh mushrooms for added texture. You can use white or brown button mushrooms, crimini mushrooms, or portobello mushrooms.

Can you omit the mushrooms? Yes! Remember we're already using the cream of mushroom soup so the flavor will still be there.

How to Make It

And here's how I make beef stroganoff in an instant pot pressure cooker:

steps on how to cook beef stroganoff in instant pot
  1. Brown the beef - this may sound like an extra step but it's totally worth it. Searing the beef helps seal in the juices and will prevent the meat from becoming dry during the cooking process.
  2. Stir in the aromatics - add the butter, onion, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce into the pot. Let it cook until fragrant. No need to remove the beef.
  3. Pressure cook - close the lid and pressure cook in manual mode. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the beef.
  4. Quick Release - once the beef is tender, turn the valve into venting to do a quick release. Switch to SAUTE mode and then finally add the sour cream. Simmer for a few minutes to thicken the sauce. Finally, season with black pepper, chives, or fresh parsley before serving.

Cooking Time

For medium size cubes of beef, the cooking time would roughly be at around 25 minutes to 30 minutes at high pressure. For thinner cuts of beef, cook for 15 to 20 minutes.

What to Serve with Beef Stroganoff

Serve with egg noodles, pasta, or a warm cup of rice with a side of salad, steamed vegetables, or roasted vegetables.

Shelf-life and Storage

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. This also freezes fine. Thaw overnight in the fridge then re-heat the next day.

Equipment

  • 6 quart Instant Pot

Ingredients
 
Cups - Metric

  • 1.3 pounds braising or stewing beef slice into cubes (note 1)

Easy Stroganoff Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 8-10 oz fresh mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 large onion (sliced)
  • 2-3 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Recipe Notes and Tips:

  1. Beef - use cuts that are sold as braising (or stewing) beef including blade, chuck, skirt, leg, and flank. Choose a cut with a nice marbled fat so it doesn't dry out during pressure cooking.
  2. Beef broth substitute - dissolve ½ piece of less sodium beef bouillon in hot water.
  3. Cooking time - pressure cook for 20 minutes if using thin cuts of beef.
  4. Sauce thickness - simmer until desired thickness is achieved. You can also add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon water + 2 teaspoon cornstarch) to quickly thicken. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water.
  5. Instant Pot - always follow the manufacturer’s guide for safety.
