Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff
One of our most favorite meals is one that hubby grew up with, Beef Stroganoff.  Back in the day, his mom would set all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and by the end of the day, they’d get home and the smell of dinner would greet them at the door when they walked in!  To this day, when we visit and she makes it, it’s a true feeling of comfort to the senses.
We have made this recipe in the slow cooker many, many times and today, I’m just sharing how I converted it Instant Pot style.  If you’re making this in the slow cooker, great!  I have include those instructions here, too!

Did you know?

Beef Stroganoff is a Russian dish made of pieces of beef cooked in a savory broth made with sour cream.  It’s said to have been created by a chef for his employer, Count Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov, who was a foodie! It’s popularity grew in the 50’s and 60’s when beef was more expensive and saved for special occasions or Sunday dinners.  It’s a very simple meal, but the combination of the flavors is pure yumminess.
There are many variations, and I typically add mushrooms and sometimes onions, but for this particular version, I left those out.  If you choose to include them, just saute them before sauteing the garlic until they are softened a bit, then add the garlic.  How you want to serve it is also up to you.  We’ve had it with egg noodles, rice, mashed potatoes, and mashed cauliflower.  However you want to enjoy this delicious Easy Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff is up to you – the sky’s the limit!

Notes

Slow Cooker Instructions:

You can choose to brown the meat if desired (it definitely adds a depth of flavor!), but it's not necessary.  If you choose not to brown, simply omit the corn starch saving it until the end (see below)

Add all of the ingredients EXCEPT sour cream and corn starch, into the Slow Cooker and set to low for 6 hours.

When done, place sour cream in a bowl, scoop out about 1/2 cup of gravy from the slow cooker, add the corn starch to the mixture, stir and then add everything back into the Slow Cooker, mixing to incorporate.  Then serve!
