This rapid pot beef tips and gravy is a swift and robust uncomplicated weekday or Sunday meal. The beef is succulent and dissolves in your mouth, attributed to the pressure cooker, and the gravy, oh my, creamy, rich in all that beefy and mushroom essence and completely delightful.
Accompany it with some boiled basmati rice or smooth garlic mashed potatoes and steamed carrots.
Let me guide you on how to prepare the finest pressure cooker beef and gravy in under 40 minutes.
Simple rapid pot beef tips and gravy
While I wouldn’t claim this rapid pot beef recipe is inexpensive, it is certainly deserving of every cent invested in its preparation. That said, I meant inexpensive because you spend nearly $10 (£8) for two pounds of beef, but it’s more than sufficient for a family of four. Let’s be honest, you would pay more for quality steaks, leading to a win-win situation!
I am pleased to inform you that for this delectable beef dish, you don’t need to open any beef or onion gravy mix or canned creamy mushroom soup.
You also don’t have to spend extra on red wine because it’s not necessary. I’ve made this recipe wallet-friendly and healthy without sacrificing flavor.
This leads me to the next logical inquiry you may have regarding the types of beef to use.
I utilized beef brisket roast and diced it into pieces myself, but for this recipe, you can select any beef cut of your preference.
The common choice is sirloin steak or roast and stew meat, but as I mentioned previously, any beef cut works wonderfully, especially the ones you are used to.
This recipe features fresh mushrooms, which are entirely optional, but they lend the gravy a remarkable depth of flavor. It surpasses the canned version, saving you extra calories and preservatives found in the canned variety.
Ingredients
Beef chunks
Mushrooms: button or cremini
Onion
Olive oil
Worcestershire sauce
Dijon mustard
Red pepper flakes
Beef broth
Chicken stock powder
Soy sauce
Mixed seasoning: it includes ground cassia, coriander, caraway, ginger, and clove powder.
Smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Cornflour
How to prepare instant pot beef tips and gravy
Clean and slice the mushrooms, place them in a bowl and set aside. Add the beef chunks to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Activate the instant pot sauté function and heat some oil until it’s hot. Sauté the finely chopped onions until tender, then incorporate the sliced mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms for around 3 minutes until they are just about tender.
Remove approximately ¾ of the sautéed onions and mushrooms, transfer them to a bowl, allow to cool, then blend into a smooth paste.
Introduce the seasoned beef pieces to the instant pot and brown them on all sides.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic paste, all spices, red pepper flakes, paprika, and chicken stock powder, then mix to combine.
Pour in the beef broth, along with the blended mushrooms and onions, and stir to mix. Be sure to deglaze the bottom of the pot to prevent getting a BURN warning.
Securely close the IP ensuring the valve is set to sealing. Choose manual or high pressure and set the timer for 15 minutes. Once the instant pot completes its cycle, allow for natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release.
Lift the lid and activate the sauté function. Stir the beef tips and gravy, then scoop some of the gravy into the cornflour and mix together to create a slurry.
Incorporate the cornflour slurry into the sauce, stirring until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your liking. Serve and relish!
How to serve instant pot beef and gravy
This straightforward and nutritious recipe pairs excellently with boiled rice such as this instant pot coconut rice or brown rice.
If you possess additional instant pot accessories, you can prepare this mashed potatoes alongside the beef tips.
Egg noodles are also a favored choice, but I typically serve mine with good old boiled spaghetti and garlic bread.
How to store
This pressure cooker beef tips and gravy recipe makes for fantastic leftovers, but I wouldn’t suggest freezing it due to the cornflour slurry. I’ll provide a tip on how to make it work if you need to freeze it.
To store in the refrigerator: keep any leftovers in the fridge for 3 – 4 days. Ensure the beef tips have completely cooled and are in an airtight container before storing.
To freeze: While I mentioned that I’m not a fan of freezing this type of dish, not all hope is lost; you can freeze it for up to 2 months.
To reheat: simply microwave or if reheating from frozen, allow it to thaw overnight in the refrigerator or leave it out for a few hours prior to the time you need it. Then microwave or warm on the stovetop; should the sauce become too thin, create some cornflour slurry to thicken it.
