I love my instant pot.  It has saved me a million times with a fast meal.  It’s not only a fast meal, but it can be healthy and delicious. You can even pull stuff straight from the freezer if you really need to.

This is a recipe I found in a Taste of Home Fast or Slow Magazine from March 2018.  Of course, I’ve adapted it (very little) to suit my family and our needs.

Beef Tips for the Instant Pot

• 3 tsp of olive oil
• 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 lb), cubed (Let me just say I often get stew meat as well, but I always get it cut and don’t do it myself for time management.)
• salt, pepper
• 1/3 cup dry red wine (I use marsala wine)
• 1/2 lb sliced baby portobello mushrooms (again, already sliced and washed)
• 1 small onion, halved and sliced (I also cheat on this and I buy frozen pre-cut onions.  They are in the freezer section at the grocery store, and then I don’t have to cry while I’m chopping!  Also, saves time!)
• 2 cups of beef broth
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 3 Tbsp water

Select the saute setting on your instant pot.  Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil.  Salt and pepper your beef. Brown the meat in batches, adding more oil if you need it.  Transfer the meat to a bowl as it’s browned. 

Then, add the wine to the instant pot and stir to get the brown bits off the bottom.  Return the beef to the instant pot, and add the mushrooms, onion, broth, and Worcestershire sauce.  

Place the lid on the instant pot, and ensure it is locked.  Make sure your vent is closed. Select the manual setting, adjust the pressure to high, and set it for 15 minutes.

When it’s finished, quick release the pressure.  

Select saute setting again, and bring your liquid to a boil. In a small bowl, mix your cornstarch and tablespoons of water. and mix until it’s smooth. Add this into the beef mixture and stir until it’s thickened about 1-2 minutes.

How to Serve the Instant Pot Beef Tips

You can serve this in many ways.  You can put it over noodles, brown rice, or mashed potatoes.  We use mashed potatoes, and to keep things super easy and fast, we use the Ore Ida Frozen Ready to Mash potatoes.  You basically microwave them in the bag for 10 minutes, then add milk and mix as you would regularly.

I hope this gives you another fast and easy instant pot recipe to add to your meal bank!!!
