Frozen Beef Stroganoff Instant Pot Frozen
Delicious, creamy beef stroganoff with melt-in-your-mouth meat made in the Instant Pot in just about thirty minutes? YES PLEASE!
Yesterday my work-from-home pastor husband took his work on the road, packing up a few books and downloading some listening material, and of course, bringing a pad of paper and the only pen he uses now.
He spent the day working in the most beautiful office, studying and preparing a compilation of a sermon series he did over the summer on the "one another" verses.
If you noticed the fishing pole in the picture, you may not be surprised when I tell you that we were supposed to have fish for dinner last night. My eldest picked out Swiss chard to have one of our favorite sides, and we were all excited about a good meal.
Since I figured our protein would not be home until just before it was time to eat, we lingered later than usual at one of our favorite parks, enjoying the beautiful day as long as possible.
It wasn't until we were driving home that I learned that there would be no fish for dinner. There had not been even a bite on the line all day.
Which meant that it was now six o'clock and I needed to rethink dinner.
I hope you'll bear with me if this becomes the season of Instant Pot recipes. My Instant Pot is quickly becoming one of my favorite kitchen appliances. Just this week, I have already used it to make four dinners and even a quick, delicious chicken broth.
If you don't have an Instant Pot (yet?), there are still plenty of recipes to check out in the archives. And as often as I'm able, I will include suggestions to make IP recipes with standard kitchen gear.
Back to last night. On a whim, I had picked up egg noodles at Whole Foods that afternoon. Something I never buy. But maybe I had a premonition that I would soon be putting the mushrooms in the fridge and the sirloin roast in the freezer to good use.
After consulting a pressure cooker cookbook for quick reference on cooking times, I made the best beef stroganoff I've ever had.
The meat was still partially frozen when I cooked it, but that's one of the beauties of the pressure cooker. After a short sauté, almost everything was cooked together on high pressure for just eight minutes. Pasta included.
I'm not sure I could pinpoint exactly what is my favorite feature of the Instant Pot. Maybe that I only have to get one pot dirty– one pot that can then go straight into the dishwasher. Maybe it's that I can walk away while our food cooks because there's no need to stir or babysit the food. Or maybe it's because when a last minute switch to dinner plans occurs, we don't have to rely on take-out or cereal for dinner.
Instead, we can have an amazing bowl of creamy beef stroganoff with melt-in-your-mouth meat that EVERYONE in the family loves. (Even the littlest people forget that they aren't "supposed" to like mushrooms, and gladly dig in!)
Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp EVOO
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 piece of bacon, chopped into 1/4" pieces
- kosher salt, divided
- freshly ground pepper
- 1 lb sirloin roast or steak
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 3 C chopped mushrooms
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 C beef broth
- 2 C chicken broth
- 8oz wide egg noodles
- 1/2 C heavy cream
- 2 C chopped spinach
Instructions
1. Turn IP on Sauté and add 1 Tbsp olive oil to the bottom of the pot. Liberally salt and pepper the top and bottom of the sirloin steak. Place the steak in the hot pot and sear both sides for 3 minutes. Remove to a cutting board to slice.
2. Add an addition Tbsp of oil, give it a minute to reheat, then add the diced onions, bacon, and 1/2 tsp salt to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the bacon starts to brown and the onion begins to soften. While the bacon and onions cook, thinly slice the sirloin.
3. Add the minced garlic and the thyme to the pot, cook for 30 seconds or until the garlic is fragrant.
4. Add the chopped mushrooms, then the sliced steak, to the pot. Immediately pour in both broths and 1/2 tsp of salt. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any bits of meat. Add the egg noodles and stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients. Cover the IP, close the pressure valve, and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
4. After 5 minutes on high pressure, quick release the pressure and switch back to Sauté. Mix together the flour and cream, and pour in the mixture. Stir to combine. Continue to cook the stroganoff for about 3 more minutes to let the sauce thicken.
5. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the spinach. Add additional seasoning as desired. Serve immediately.
