A quick and easy Instant Pot beef stroganoff with tender beef, mushrooms, and a creamy sour cream sauce, perfect for busy weeknights and comforting family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast or stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sour cream (full-fat preferred)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Egg noodles or mashed potatoes, for serving (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes, slice mushrooms, chop onions, and mince garlic (about 10 minutes).
  2. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting and add 1-2 tablespoons oil. Brown beef in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized. Transfer beef to a plate.
  3. Add chopped onions to the pot and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and mushrooms, cooking for another 4-5 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over the veggies and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in 2 cups beef broth while scraping the bottom to deglaze and lift browned bits.
  6. Return browned beef to the pot. Add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
  7. Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to high pressure for 25 minutes. Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.
  8. Open lid carefully. Stir in 3/4 cup sour cream until sauce is creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of broth or water if sauce is too thick.
  9. Serve stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or preferred side. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

Brown the beef first to add depth of flavor. Stir sour cream in off heat to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, add broth or water to loosen. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch or gluten-free blend. Let stroganoff rest 5 minutes after cooking to meld flavors. Fresh mushrooms preferred over frozen for best texture.
