homemade Beef Stroganoff

Beef Stroganoff Instant Pot

Beef Stroganoff Instant Pot is not something I make often. I don’t make it often because I do not think about it. Pasta is my favorite thing, but it is not Big Daddy’s. Sad, I know. However, I have found something that involves pasta that he LOVED.

The roast was done in the crockpot. When I do a roast, I make 2 and put potatoes in both. I do this because A) we are a large family, B) my children believe they are starving 98% of the time C) I use the leftover roast to make soups or some Chinese food. This day was no different.

Roast

1 roast

Seasoning Recipe Mix

Worcestershire Sauce

Onion

2 c. water

Put in the crockpot with potatoes and cook on high for 10-12 hrs. I say this because I always put my roast in the crockpot frozen. Always. I reckon if it is thawed, it would need to be in there for 5-6 hrs.

Once I realized that we were not going to eat it (they ate the other one), I just dumped it all in a bowl with a lid and waited until I could figure out what I wanted to cook. My ah-ha moment was pretty epic, only because Big Daddy loved it!

Beef Stroganoff

I separated all the potatoes from the roast/juice. The roast was cut up into bite-sized pieces. That and all the liquid were poured into my instant pot. Also added was minced garlic and one whole onion, chopped.

Beef bouillon granules were added (I’d say about 4 teaspoons), more seasoning, Thyme, 2 T flour, mushrooms (canned or fresh), 2 T butter, and about 2 c water. I sauteed this down and then added another cup of water. The Instant Pot lid was placed and sealed. I set it on manual for 10 minutes (the meat was already done).

While that was doing its thing, I put my egg noodles in a pot of boiling, seasoned water. I do not do egg noodles in the IP because they turn into mush after one minute of being in there. Once they were done, I drained them.

In the meantime, I’m quickly releasing the IP and adding 2 heaping tablespoons of sour cream and some parsley. Once that was all mixed in and melted, I added my noodles.

It is ready to serve!

You can use the recipe’s ground beef, steak tips, beef stew, or deer meat.

Keto Beef Stroganoff Soup recipe can be made with noodles. Be mindful that you cannot cook them too long in the Instant Pot because the noodles will become mushy. Honestly, I do not ever do egg noodles in the instant pot. They never turn outright. I go back to the boiling pot of water and cook them al dente.

Keto Beef Stroganoff Soup

Round steak ( cut in strips and then the strips cut in half)

1 onion

2 tsp. minced garlic

Fresh mushrooms

2 T. butter

Seasoning

Parsley

Directions

For this Keto Beef Stroganoff Soup, saute it up in your instant pot until it is done.

I added 6 beef bouillon cubes and 5 c. water (if you use some noodles, which I did, then this is the time to add them to your instant pot and put enough water to cover them). Place on manual for 3 minutes.

Quick-release pressure.

Add 1/2 c of heavy cream, 1 1/2 c. sour cream, 1 T. dijon mustard, and a squirt of lemon or lime juice.

Mix it up till it is all hot and good.

I hope you enjoy it! I certainly have! Soups are my jam. One day, I hope to create my cookbook. Let me know if you have tips and tricks for learning to do “food photography,” let me know properly.
