Now that we’ve turned our classic beef stroganoff recipe into both a crockpot version and an instant pot version, you can decide which way suits your lifestyle best. Using the crockpot is great for slowly cooking throughout the day, the classic skillet method is what I would suggest if you are using a higher quality steak, and the instant pot is perfect for a quick and easy meal without standing over a stovetop.

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

BEEF – Using a higher quality steak works great in this recipe (boneless ribeye, top sirloin) but the pressure cook setting on the instant pot will turn even tough cuts of meat into tender bites. So you can use a less expensive cut of meat like flank steak and skirt steak with ease.

GRAVY – Some people prefer their gravy with dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor, but you may omit them if desired. You can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt if needed.

Serving Suggestions

If you prefer your beef stroganoff with mashed potatoes instead of egg noodles, cook the mashed potatoes separately and pour the stroganoff over the top once finished. Enjoy as-is topped with chopped parsley or with a side of roasted veggies or dinner rolls.

Ingredients

• ▢ 4 Tbsp salted butter
• ▢ 1 medium onion finely chopped
• ▢ 2 cloves garlic minced
• ▢ 8 oz mushrooms sliced
• ▢ 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• ▢ 1 lb steak top sirloin, flank, or skirt steak
• ▢ 2 cups beef stock or broth
• ▢ salt and pepper to taste
• ▢ 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce optional
• ▢ 1 tsp Dijon mustard optional
• ▢ 12 oz wide egg noodles uncooked
• ▢ ⅔ cup sour cream
• ▢ 4 oz cream cheese cut into small pieces
• ▢ chopped parsley for garnish

Things You’ll Need

• ▢
  6 qt Instant pot

Before You Begin

• Do not add the noodles to the instant pot with the initial pressure cook cycle. The noodles will overcook and become soggy and break apart. The instant pot cooks the noodles with that additional 3 minute pressure cook. If you’d rather cook the noodles separately, reduce the amount of beef broth in the recipe to 1 1⁄2 cups and then stir the cooked noodles in at the end after adding all of the other ingredients.
• Some people prefer their gravy with dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor, but you may omit them if desired. You can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt if needed.
• The pressure cook setting on the instant pot will make even tough cuts of meat into tender bites. You can use a less expensive cut of meat for beef stroganoff in the instant pot – flank steak and skirt steak work well.
• Leftover beef stroganoff can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
