Is there anything better on a cold winter night than a cozy bowl of beef stroganoff? There are a lot of great comfort food recipes out there – like this Instant Pot Mac and Cheese or this Instant Pot French Onion Soup. But Instant Pot Stroganoff is one of the best, and easiest, there is.

Don’t have an Instant Pot? You can also make this Traditional Beef Stroganoff on the stove.

Why it’s the BEST

Tender beef cubes. A rich, creamy gravy. A sprinkling of parsley to brighten everything up. And egg noodles that cook right in the Instant Pot. Both irresistibly easy and delicious!

My secret to making this Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff extra delicious is by spiking it with brandy and red wine. Of course, I always have red wine on hand, and we seem to have a bottle of brandy in the cupboard that lives in there indefinitely.

But if you don’t have red wine or brandy on hand, you can definitely swap it out… Use all red wine (no brandy). Or use sherry in place of the red wine and brandy. If you prefer not to cook with alcohol, you can leave it out entirely. In its place, you could add a few glugs of Worcestershire sauce to add a hint of acidity, which will balance out the rich, creamy sauce.

Ingredients needed

  • Chuck Roast – Or stew meat. You can also use ground beef.
  • Onion
  • Cremini Mushrooms – Or, button mushrooms.
  • Spices – Garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, pepper.
  • Flour
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Brandy & Red Wine – If you prefer to cook without alcohol, you can leave it out entirely. In its place, you could add a few glugs of Worcestershire sauce to add a hint of acidity, which will balance out the rich, creamy sauce.
  • Low Sodium Beef Broth – Or, swap in some homemade instant pot bone broth.
  • Egg Noodles
  • Sour Cream
  • Fresh Parsley – For topping. This is optional.

How to make it

  • Combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and nutmeg in a bowl. Pat beef dry with paper towels and add to the flour mixture in the bowl; toss to coat.
  • Set Instant Pot to SAUTE, add vegetable oil and brown the meat on all sides. Meat will not be cooked through. (Be sure not to crowd the pot – you will have to work in batches. I work in 3 batches). Transfer browned meat onto a plate.
  • Add onion and mushrooms, cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Stir in brandy and red wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in beef broth and return beef to Instant Pot.
  • Cover and seal the lid, then turn the vent to sealing. Hit CANCEL then press the MANUAL (high pressure) button and set the timer to 12 minutes. It will take about 15 minutes for Instant Pot to come to full pressure, then the display will show a countdown timer.
  • Quick release the pressure before removing the lid.
  • Add the egg noodles and stir. Cover and seal the lid, then turn the vent to sealing. Hit CANCEL, then press the MANUAL (high pressure) button and set the timer to 5 minutes.  When finished, quick-release the pressure.
  • Stir in sour cream and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Variations and substitutions

  • If you would prefer to use steak instead of stew meat or chuck roast, you can use beef sirloin, rib eye, or tenderloin that is cut into thin strips.
  • You can also make ground beef stroganoff.
  • If you don’t have red wine or brandy for the recipe, you can leave it out entirely. In its place, you could maybe add a few glugs of Worcestershire sauce to add a hint of acidity, which will balance out the rich, creamy sauce.

FAQs

How do you keep sour cream from curdling in beef stroganoff?

I don’t usually have a problem with sour cream curdling, but if you want to play it safe you can remove about 1/4 cup of hot liquid from the Instant Pot and whisk it with the sour cream in a small bowl. Then stir the mixture back into the Instant Pot.

How long does beef stroganoff last in the fridge?

You can store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can reheat it on the stove or in the microwave. I don’t suggest freezing the beef stroganoff as egg noodles will change texture.

What is the most tender meat for beef stroganoff?

I suggest using stew meat or chuck roast, as both become very tender and stay juicy when cooked in the instant pot.

What to serve with it

Since this chuck roast stroganoff is made with egg noodles, it is quite filling and comforting all on its own. But it can also be served with Creamy Mashed Potatoes and a side of veggies, like this Sauteed pinach, Zucchini & Squash, Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts or Sous Vide Asparagus.

Wine pairings

To balance the rich flavors of the dish, choose a rich fruity wine such as a Cabernet or Grenache. A Sauvignon Blanc would also go very well with this dish as the acidity will balance out the richness.

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 pounds chuck roast or stew meat (cubed)
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion (sliced)
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 12-ounce package wide egg noodles
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine 1/3 cup flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and nutmeg. Pat beef dry with paper towels and add to the flour mixture in the bowl; toss to coat.
  • Set Instant Pot to SAUTE, add vegetable oil and brown the meat on all sides. Meat will not be cooked through. (Be sure not to crowd the pot – you will have to work in batches. I work in 3 batches). Transfer browned meat onto a plate. 
  • Add onion and mushrooms, cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Stir in brandy and red wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Stir in beef broth and return beef to Instant Pot.
  • Cover and seal the lid – turn the vent to sealing. Hit CANCEL then press the MANUAL (high pressure) button and set the timer to 12 minutes. It will take about 15 minutes for Instant Pot to come to full pressure, then the display will show a countdown timer.
  • When finished, quick-release the pressure before removing the lid.
  • Add the egg noodles and stir. Cover and seal the lid – turn the vent to sealing. Hit CANCEL then press the MANUAL (high pressure) button and set the timer to 5 minutes.  When finished, quick-release the pressure.
  • Stir in sour cream and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Notes

Variations and substitutions:
  • Even when made in the Instant Pot, the goal is tender, fall-apart beef cubes. I suggest using stew meat or chuck roast, as both become very tender and stay juicy. 
  • If you don’t have red wine or brandy for the recipe, you can leave it out entirely. In its place, you could maybe add a few glugs of Worcestershire sauce to add a hint of acidity, which will balance out the rich, creamy sauce.
