Ingredients
  

For the Stroganoff

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 pound beef stew meat or sirloin tips cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics and Beef

  1. Set the Instant Pot to the "Sauté" function. Add olive oil and butter, letting the butter melt. Sauté the onion until softened, about 3 minutes, then add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Add Mushrooms and Seasoning

  1. Stir in the mushrooms, paprika, and Dijon mustard, cooking for 2 minutes until mushrooms release some moisture.

Deglaze and Pressure Cook

  1. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any browned bits (this prevents the burn warning). Add the egg noodles, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Turn off "Sauté" mode, secure the lid, and set to "Pressure Cook" (or Manual) for 8 minutes.

Release Pressure

  1. Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully perform a quick release by turning the venting knob. Open the lid, giving everything a gentle stir.

Finish the Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, mix sour cream with flour (if using) to prevent lumps. Stir it into the pot until the sauce is creamy and thickened. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Serve

  1. Ladle the stroganoff into bowls or over a plate of wide egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese if desired.
