Instructions
Sauté Aromatics and Beef
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
Stir in the mushrooms, paprika, and Dijon mustard, cooking for 2 minutes until mushrooms release some moisture.
Deglaze and Pressure Cook
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
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
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
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.
