Easy Instant Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff

When it comes to quick and comforting meals, few dishes can rival the indulgent flavours of beef stroganoff. Traditionally made with sautéed pieces of beef, creamy sauce, and served over pasta or rice, it’s a dish that warms the soul. However, with the help of modern kitchen appliances like the Instant Pot, this classic recipe can be adapted to suit our busy lifestyles without sacrificing flavour. This Easy Instant Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff is a perfect example, combining convenience with hearty satisfaction.

Ingredients

To whip up this delightful meal, you’ll require the following ingredients:

• 500g ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 250g mushrooms, sliced (button or chestnut mushrooms work well)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 500ml beef stock
• 250g egg noodles (or your pasta of choice)
• 100ml sour cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

1. Sauté the Ingredients: Begin by setting the Instant Pot to the ‘Sauté’ function. Add a drizzle of olive oil and allow it to heat up. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it turns translucent. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are softened.

2. Brown the Ground Beef: Next, push the mushroom mixture to the side and add the ground beef to the pot. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked through, drain any excess grease if necessary.

3. Add the Flavours: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef stock. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to release any bits stuck to the bottom, as this will help prevent the burn notice.

4. Cook the Pasta: Add the egg noodles directly into the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Close the Instant Pot lid, securing it and sealing the vent. Set to ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ on high for 5 minutes.

5. Release the Pressure: After the cooking time is up, perform a quick release by carefully turning the vent to release the steam. Once the pressure has fully released, open the lid.

6. Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the flour until smooth. Add this mixture to the cooked beef and noodles, stirring well to combine. The residual heat will warm the sour cream and thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Serve and Garnish: Dish up the stroganoff onto plates, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of colour and freshness.
