Instant Pot Beef Tips and Gravy
Description
This recipe starts by browning stew meat and diced onions in the Instant Pot using the sauté function to develop flavor. Once browned, beef stock, cream of mushroom soup, salt, and pepper are added. The pot is sealed and pressure cooked on high for 15 minutes, tenderizing the meat quickly.
After pressure cooking, a cornstarch and water mixture is whisked into the pot to thicken the cooking liquid into a gravy. The sauté mode is used again to bring the gravy to a boil and thicken it slightly, resulting in a smooth, glossy sauce enveloping tender beef pieces.
The dish pairs well with a side of vegetables or starch such as mashed potatoes or egg noodles, providing a comforting, easy-to-prepare beef entrée using simple ingredients and the convenience of the Instant Pot.
The original notes suggest serving with favorite vegetables, emphasizing a simple and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 onion (diced)
- 1 cups beef stock
- 2 lbs stew meat
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup water (reserved)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
