I love turning a classic family favorite into an easy Instant Pot recipe. The best part of converting a recipe to an easier Instant Pot version is all you busy moms get some time back in your day to spend with your family. Let the Instant Pot do all the work while you check in with your kids about their day and enjoy this delicious dinner together.
What Cut of Beef should I use For Stroganoff?
For this recipe, I used sirloin steak, but sometimes I use round steak or even cube steak. When you pressure cook steak even a tougher cut of meat you will be pleasantly surprised at just how tender and delicious it comes out. If you don’t have any steak on hand you could certainly substitute ground beef as well for an, even more, budget-friendly dinner. Check out my favorite family owned beef company Thomas Cattle Company for quality beef delivered right to you.

Easy One-Pot Dinner
Once you have decided what cut of steak you want to use, thaw and slice it against the grain into ½ inch strips and set it aside. To make dinner time easier prepare the steak and store it in an air-tight container for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to cook select the sauté function on the Instant Pot add 2 Tbsp. of EVOO and wait until the display read HOT.

How To Make Stroganoff
While the Instant Pot is heating up dice up a medium white onion and mince the garlic. For a shortcut I love using pre-minced garlic, really saves time and a mess. Next heat 4 cups of water with 4 Tbsp. of Better Than Bullion Roasted Beef and stir to combine.
When the Instant Pot display reads HOT add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes. Next, add the steak strips and season with salt and pepper. Continue sauteing for 2-3 more minutes.
Pour in the beef broth you have prepared and deglaze the bottom of the Instant pot by scraping all of the stuck-on tidbits off with a wooden spatula. Add in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and stir to combine. On top of the beef mixture add the egg noodles and using your spatula press them into the liquid so they are submerged.
Pressure Cook Beef Stroganoff
Make sure your ingredients do not go over the max fill line of the Instant Pot inner pot and place the lid on and lock it in place. Turn the vent knob to the sealing position and select pressure cook/manual and set the cooking time for 5 minutes.
The Instant Pot will take around 10 minutes to come to pressure before it starts the 5-minute cooking cycle. When the Instant Pot beeps to signal the cooking cycle is complete immediately release the pressure. This will take a few minutes to release completely.
When the pot has depressurized carefully remove the lid and stir to combine the ingredients. At this time add the fresh sliced mushrooms and sour cream and place the lid back on to warm through for 3-4 minutes.
You never want to add a thickener ingredient like sour cream or cream of soup before you pressure cook. Thickeners and milk-based ingredients should always be added at the end of pressure cooking. To cook further you can always return the Instant Pot to the sauté function if the keep warm setting isn’t warming the dish fast enough.
Adding sour cream or plain Greek yogurt to the Instant Pot will bring all the flavors together and turn your Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff into a creamy delicious and easy weeknight dinner. For a bit more creaminess serve with a dollop of sour cream on top.
As I mentioned above you may prefer using plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in your stroganoff, but you could also try substituting with cottage cheese, cream cheese, coconut milk, cashew milk, or heavy cream.
