Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff with strips of braised Beef Sirloin and Cremini Mushrooms is cooked in a creamy rich Sherry Wine, Butter, Garlic Sauce.
Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff
Beef Stroganoff is a Russian dish that traveled into many cultures around the World.
From Russia to China and then the United States.
Hong Kong, the UK, Australia, Brazil, all have a variation of Beef Stroganoff.
It is such a popular dish and the reason I converted my stove top recipe for the Instant Pot, Mealthy MultiPot or Pressure Cooker.
Did you know that in Russia, Beef Stroganoff is served over mashed potatoes? My Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes pair perfectly with Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff.
Seasoning and Starch
Whether you use Beef Sirloin, Top Round, Chuck Roast, you will end up with a delicious Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff.
Cubes of Beef are the authentic way to cut the Beef. At least it is in Russia!
Strips, slices, cubes, cut them any way YOU like. I do it differently depending on the cut of meat I use.
The tougher the meat, the thinner they need to be sliced.
When cooking in the Instant Pot, Mealthy MultiPot or Pressure Cooker, I find that Potato Starch does a better job of thickening and protecting the meat. It also doesn’t seem to glop up, like flour.
It’s actually my secret ingredient for my Air Fryer Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings recipe.
I’m betting that if you are here reading about this recipe, you will want to see my Pressure Cooker Salisbury Steak w/Onion Mushroom Gravy recipe.
Thick Cut Mushrooms or Thin?
Cremini and Wild Mushrooms are always my choice over Button Mushrooms.
The color is nicer, the taste is earthy, juicy and delicious.
Cremini Mushrooms are often called Baby Bellas, or little Portobello Mushrooms.
They hold up well under pressure, so cut them how you like; think or thin.
Searing the Meat adds Another Layer of Flavor
Make sure to always start with a very hot pot.
Your stainless steel pot will be easier to use and food won’t stick horribly.
The oil always should be added to a very hot pot, if you are planning on searing or sautéing.
Searing the meat adds another level of flavor, that you will only get from searing.
Not all meat needs to be seared or sauteed first. For instance, my Pressure Cooker Classic Pot Roast, will be great whether you sear the meat first or not.
Since the beef chunks are coated with Potato Starch, the meat will get a nice crust and will be extra juice inside.
Deglazing is Important
Use a good Dry Sherry, not a “cooking” Sherry. It should be a Sherry that you are proud to serve as a drink.
That being said, for this recipe, Shaoxing Wine substitutes well for Sherry.
You can see how clean the stainless steel pot is because of allowing it to heat before adding the oil.
My Cilio Olivewood Spatula comes through again.
This is Where so much Magic Happens
There is nothing better than Sautéing Mushrooms and Onions in Butter and Sherry or Shaoxing. The extra flavor it adds is fantastic.
Other recipes, where I use Shaoxing Wine are:
- Pressure Cooker Tuna Noodle Casserole
- Pressure Cooker Parmesan Garlic Mushroom Chicken
- Pressure Cooker Passover Vegetable matzo Lasagna
When we grill steaks, I always make a huge batch on the stove, using my Cast Iron Skillet
Check out my Santa Maria Barbecue Grilled Tri-Tip recipe and enjoy it with Onions and Mushrooms.
The depth of flavor, oh my!
You’ve got to try this Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff. You will fall in love.
Sour Cream is Mixed into Beef Stroganoff
The amount of Sour Cream is totally a personal choice and totally customizable.
There will be enough liquid in the Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker after pressure cooking to add as much Sour Cream as you like and still have a saucy dish.
A glass measuring cup is very handy for tempering.
Isn’t it grand that with my method of cooking, a slurry is never necessary! You shouldn’t really ever have to make a slurry, if the recipe is created properly.
Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Beef Stroganoff
Wide Egg Noodles are customary. Farfalle are quite fun. You may know this noodle as Bow Tie or Butterfly. I’m Jewish, Farfalle to me.
