Creamy Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff with strips of braised Beef Sirloin and Cremini Mushrooms is cooked in a rich Sherry Wine, Butter, Garlic Sauce. Gluten Free and Low Carb too!

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 DUO Plus.

Generously Season the Beef Cubes or Strips

Whether you use Beef Sirloin, Top Round, Chuck Roast, you will end up with a delicious Pressure Cooker Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff.

Beef Cubes are the authentic way to cut the Beef.

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.

Coat Lightly with Potato Starch

When cooking in the 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 in Pressure Cookers, 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.

Sherry, Sherry baby

[Think Four Seasons] Sherry, Sherry baby, Sherry can you come out tonight?

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.

Scrape up all the Brown Bits

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.

Mushrooms and Onions, Sautéed with Butter and Sherry

There is nothing better than Sautéing Mushrooms and Onions in Butter and Sherry.

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.

This is Where so much Magic Happens

Look at all that Rich Looking Sauce!

The flavor combinations, oh my!

Sautéeing in Butter and not oil, oh my!

The depth of flavor, oh my!

You’ve got to try this Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff.

You will fall in love.

For another Stroganoff treat, try my Pressure Cooker Ground Turkey Stroganoff, for a one pot meal!

Temper the Sour Cream

The amount of Sour Cream is totally a personal choice and totally customizable.

There will be enough liquid in the Instant Pot DUO Plus after pressure cooking to add as much Sour Cream as you like and still have a saucy dish.

Use a Measuring Cup and add some hot liquid to the Cup to Temper.

Slowly Incorporate Sour Cream into Stroganoff

Slowly Whisk the Tempered Sour Cream into the liquid and incorporate.

You won’t need to make a Starch Slurry.

Remember, we seared the Beef in Potato Starch, first thing. Surprise, surprise!!!

Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Beef Stroganoff

Wide Egg Noodles are customary.

Farfalle are quite fun. You may know this noodle as Bow Tie.

I’m Jewish, Farfalle to me.

Use a good brand of Noodles or Pasta.

Enjoy this dish using Low Carb, Gluten Free Noodles

Or, use a Spiralizer and serve the Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff over Zucchini Noodles.

Serve over Egg Noodles or Rice, with a garnish of parsley.

Recipe Notes

Beef Round Roast and Beef Chuck Roast are also good choices for the beef.

Use a good Dry Sherry, not a “cooking” Sherry.

For this recipe, Shaoxing Wine substitutes well for Sherry.

When adjusting seasoning, make sure the broth is highly seasoned, as the Sour Cream will dilute the flavor.

For a thicker sauce, make a Slurry by removing ½ cup hot liquid and add 2 Tablespoons of Potato Starch. Whisk together well and then incorporate the Slurry into cooking pot, before adding the Sour Cream.
