Make a fabulous dinner without a ton of effort and only one pot to clean! This easy instant pot beef stroganoff is a perfect weeknight meal. It is a creamy, delicious supper that will fill them up and make you look like a rock star.

Quick and easy dinners are a must all year long for busy families.  There is always something going on, but that doesn’t meat we don’t want to put a good dinner on the table.  Of course there are bonus points if it is economical as well!

Luckily this beef stroganoff recipe ticks all of those boxes.  You can use cheaper cuts of beef and stretch it with mushrooms and pasta.  The results are a family friendly meal without a ton of work.

The instant pot is a great way to get dinner on the table quickly.  With the benefit of being able to add flavor by browning right in the pot and the speediness of pressure cooking, it can do it all!  Plus once you get going, it is mostly hands off cooking.

If you have never done pasta in a pressure cooker, you don’t know what you are missing.  There is no fear of boiling over and it has the added flavor of cooking right in with everything else. (Plus there’s no extra pot to clean!!!) 

Creamy spaghetti and meatballs in the instant pot is a great example of that.  You can start with frozen meatballs and dry spaghetti and have a family friendly dinner on the table in no time flat. Whip up a little garlic bread and a salad while it cooks and life will be extra good!

How To Make Easy Beef Stroganoff

Making this beef stroganoff is quick and easy.  

  1. Start by browning the beef to add flavor. The saute function on the instant pot makes this easy.
  2. Next soften the onions.
  3. After that, cook down a bit of flour and add the liquid. Cook on high pressure to cook the beef and make it nice and tender.
  4. Next add the egg noodles and pressure cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Finally stir in the sour cream and adjust the seasoning to your taste.

That’s it! Dinner will be on the table in no time!

Recipe Variations

Because we test all our recipes, we recommend that you make them once just as it is without substitutions or changes. Sometimes variations can go awry. Making our Instant Beef Stroganoff recipe as we have tested it will yield the best results. If you really want to get creative, here are some ideas for variations that might work well. (Please note, we have not tested these variations).

  • The dry wine adds a lot of flavor to the final dish, but feel free to substitute more beef broth if that is your preference.
  • Substitute button or chanterelle mushrooms for the baby portabella mushrooms.
  • Don’t like mushrooms? Leave them out! Just add a bit more beef.

Tips for Cooking in the Instant Pot

You want to make sure to get all of the flour off the bottom of the pan when you deglaze.  Those brown bits add a lot of flavor to the sauce, but getting them off the bottom will also help prevent the instant pot from giving you the burn message.

Sometimes when you cook starchy food like pasta in the instant pot, the steam release can spit starchy liquid.  Cover the release with a damp cloth to help prevent a mess! 

The quicker you get the pasta in and the lid shut again, the more quickly it will come back up to pressure.  The more steam and heat you let out, the longer it will take to return to full pressure.

    Just made this and love it! I will make a few adjustments the next time. Since I used low sodium broth, I really feel it needs more salt/pepper. Also, it might be because I used a store brand of noodles, but I felt they cooked too much – I’d cut the time for cooking the noodles by a minute or so. My husband is very picky (worse than my kids ever have been) and he liked it!
