This way, you keep it creamy and tasty without mushrooms. For a gluten-free version, swap the flour with cornstarch. Mix one tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water. Stir this into the pot after cooking. It thickens the sauce without gluten. Also, choose gluten-free egg noodles or serve it over rice. Both options work well and keep the dish delicious. To make this dish dairy-free, replace sour cream with a dairy-free alternative. Coconut cream or cashew cream works great. These options add a creamy texture without dairy. You can also use almond milk, but it may change the thickness. Adjust the amounts to fit your taste. With these swaps, you’ll still enjoy a rich beef stroganoff. Store any leftover beef stroganoff in an airtight container. Let it cool first. It stays fresh for about three to four days in the fridge.

If using the stove, warm it over low heat. Add a splash of beef broth or water to help loosen the sauce. Stir until it’s heated through. Enjoy your meal! Yes, you can use other cuts. Top sirloin, flank steak, or chuck roast work well. Just cut them into bite-sized pieces. Each cut gives a different flavor and texture. Always remember, tougher cuts need more time to cook.

Ingredients
  

1 pound beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)

1 teaspoon paprika

2 cups beef broth (low-sodium)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper, to taste

Egg noodles (for serving)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Turn the Instant Pot on and select the sauté function. Add olive oil to the pot.

    Once the oil is hot, add the beef stew meat in batches (to avoid overcrowding) and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

      In the same pot, add onions and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

        Stir in the sliced mushrooms and paprika, cooking until the mushrooms release moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.

          Return the beef to the pot, then add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Ensure all ingredients are well combined and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.

            Close the lid of the Instant Pot, set the valve to sealing, and select the manual high-pressure cooking setting for 15 minutes.

              When the cooking time is up, allow for natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to venting to release remaining pressure.

                In a small bowl, mix sour cream and flour until smooth. Stir this mixture into the beef mixture in the pot. Turn the sauté function back on and heat for a few minutes until thickened.

                  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
