Instant Pot Beef Tips Recipe
Description
This recipe uses stew or sirloin beef pieces sautéed with aromatic onions and garlic, then pressure-cooked with beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, mushrooms, and herbs. The natural pressure cooking process tenderizes the beef while infusing it with the savory broth and seasonings. Italian blend seasoning adds herbal notes, and salt and black pepper are adjusted to taste.
After pressure cooking for 35 minutes and a natural release period, a cornstarch slurry of water and cornstarch is stirred in to thicken the broth to a gravy-like consistency. The dish is versatile, served over starches such as mashed potatoes, cooked rice, or egg noodles, making a comforting and filling meal.
The preparation maximizes convenience by using the Instant Pot’s sauté and pressure cooking functions sequentially, reducing active cooking time and cleanup while developing deep flavors.
The recipe notes recommend serving suggestions, highlighting the dish’s role as a hearty protein and sauce complement for various starches.
