This Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff recipe is easy to make. Here are a few tips:
- For the best flavor and tender beef, use chuck. Swap out beef for hamburger to make a ground beef stroganoff.
- If preferred, the browning can be done in a large skillet and transferred to the Instant Pot.
- Be sure to brown in batches. If you add too much beef to the Instant Pot, it will release liquid, and it will not brown.
- Wine is recommended but can be substituted for extra broth.
- Be sure to scrape all of the brown bits from the bottom of the pot to avoid a burn notice.
- Turn off the heat before adding the sour cream, it can curdle if cooked.
What to Serve with Stroganoff
It’s the ultimate comfort food and great with any type of starch. Regardless of what you serve the stroganoff with, the side should be cooked separately.
- Egg Noodles – Serve beef stroganoff over wide egg noodles or homemade egg noodles, cooked separately.
- Mashed Potatoes – Try creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed potatoes if you’d prefer.
- Low Carb – Low carb options include cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash.
Storing Leftovers
- Leftovers will store for 3-4 days in the refrigerator and 2-3 months in the freezer.
- Reheat from frozen in a covered pot on the stovetop over low heat. Add more beef broth to loosen up the gravy if needed. Store noodles separately, or make fresh ones.
