Best Easy Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff

Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff is incredibly easy to make. We put our own spin on it and used ground beef, instead of beef chunks, this way, you can cook the pasta at the same time in the pot. This method will save you time, effort, and produce a fantastic dinner that you will make over and over again.

The pasta is perfectly cooked, the beef is tender and flavorful, everything covered in the most luxurious and tangy sour cream sauce. Serve the Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff pasta with a salad on the side and some crusty bread to soak all that sauce from your plate.

Pasta is cooked in an Instant Pot or other electric pressure cookers, usually between 4-6 minutes, depending on the recipe and type of pasta. Most of the time followed by a Quick Pressure Release.

Can you make Beef Stroganoff in the Crockpot?

Absolutely! Making it in the Slow Cooker is very simple as well. 

  • First, brown the meat and vegetables in a skillet before adding them to the Slow Cooker. This locks in the flavors and adds plenty of richness to this dish. However, if you are in a hurry, and can skip this step, and simply place the beef and vegetables into the Crockpot right away. 
  • Add the stock to the beef, then the mustard and season. Ensure to add enough water to just cover the beef. Then, put the lid on and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
  • Next, cook the egg noodles according to their package directions.
  • Add the cooked and drained noodles to the crockpot. Then, add the sour cream and mustard. Stir well. Cover the lid, and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

What is beef stroganoff traditionally served with?

This dish is great to serve over wide egg noodles or rice. It can also be served with crispy potatoes or over mashed potatoes.

For a healthier option, pair it with pear salad, or arugula salad on the side. 

What is Beef Consommé?

Beef consommé is a more concentrated version of condensed beef broth. A clear liquid that results from clarifying homemade stock. You can use beef broth instead of beef consommé, but keep in mind that the broth tastes milder, therefore the flavor won’t be as intense.

CAN I MAKE THIS DISH WITH OTHER MEATS?

This dish can be made with any ground meats, such as chicken, turkey or pork. Similarly, the cooking time will still be the same if you use the same amount of ingredients.

INSTANT POT BEEF STROGANOFF PASTA RECIPE TIPS:

  • Use quality meat, preferably use organic beef for this meal. Stew meat works best for this recipe.
  • Also, look for fresh meat that has a bright color, and about 15-20% fat content. Due to higher fat content, the meat gets great flavor and tenderness. Cut the meat into smaller cubed sizes. 
  • Browning the beef is essential, it will lock in the flavor and the beef juices and also elevate the meat flavor.
  • You don’t have to pre-cook the egg noodles for this recipe. Add the uncooked noodles to the pot and 5 minutes on HP will give you normally cooked pasta, 4 minutes, a bit more on the al-dente side.
  • In addition, egg noodles are customary in beef stroganoff. However, feel free to use other short pasta shapes if you do not have egg noodles available. 
  • For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 can (10 1/2 oz) Beef consommé or beef broth

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Cornstarch Mix:
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 4 tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Set Instant Pot to Saute on Hot.
  • Once the Pressure Cooker is hot add the oil, wait for it to sizzle.
  • Add the ground beef, let it cook without moving for about 1 minute, to get a nice sear on it. After that, break it up using a wooden spoon as it cooks.
  • Once the ground beef has browned and is no longer pink add onion, garlic and mushrooms. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the red pepper flakes, dried thyme, ground mustard, and dried parsley. Add some black pepper and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Then, add Worcestershire sauce, beef consommé, and beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon, to make sure bits are not stuck to it.
  • Next, add egg noddles, and gently stir a little, not much. Pour one cup of water on top and again gently stir to submerge them slightly not entirely into the liquid.
  • Cover and seal the lid. Make sure the valve points to Sealed. Change the setting to manual and adjust the time to 5 minutes on High Pressure.
  • Once the Instant Pot beeps to show that it's done, do a quick release, by changing the position of the valve to Vent. Carefully remove the cover.
  • Select Sauté mode on Medium Hot.
  • In a cup combine cornstarch with the 4 tablespoons of water until fully dissolved.
  • Add the sour cream to the pot, add the cornstarch mix and gently stir to combine, until sour cream is fully melted.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
