Ingredients & Variations
BEEF: Affordable chuck roast, sirloin steak, stew meat, and even tri-tip cubes cook up juicy and tender in the Instant Pot! Even frozen cubes of meat will cook perfectly without having to thaw them!
GRAVY: Beef broth and a can of condensed French onion soup make for a densely flavored gravy. Potatoes and carrots can be added to the onions and mushrooms for a more stew-like dish and aromatics like thyme, oregano, or even a package of Italian seasoning mix can be mixed or matched as desired.
How to Make Instant Pot Beef Tips
- Saute the seasoned meat in small batches (as per the recipe below).
- Remove and scrape the bits from the bottom of the Instant Pot with beef stock.
- Return the beef to the Instant Pot and add the remaining ingredients except for corn starch.
- Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
- Make a cornstarch slurry and whisk into the broth until the gravy reaches desired thickness.
- Discard bay leaf before serving.
Instant Pot Tips & Tricks
- Always scrape the bits from the bottom of the Instant Pot. This process is called ‘deglazing’ and the bits get reincorporated into the gravy adding a boost of flavor.
- You may not use all of the cornstarch slurry so feel free to dispose of what you don’t need.
- Cut pieces of beef into uniform, bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
Leftovers?
Keep leftover beef tips and gravy in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave, stovetop, or instant pot, as desired. Freeze leftovers in zippered bags and use within 4 weeks.
