Instant Pot Amish Beef Noodles
This meal was a homerun! My whole family agreed that these noodles were the best. The flavor was spot on. The meat had so much flavor and the sauce was being licked up off of plates. This recipe only has 8 common ingredients too! You really need to try this recipe soon. Let me know how much you love it!

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Olive oil–or vegetable or canola oil
- Chuck roast–or rump roast
- Garlic powder–or granulated garlic
- Black pepper
- Beef broth–or water and Better Than Bouillon Beef Base
- Mushrooms
- Onion soup mix–or make your own from scratch
- Egg noodles–or another short cut pasta you like
Steps
- Trim the roast: chuck roasts have tons of flavor! But they also have quite a bit of fat that needs to be trimmed off. My chuck roast was 3 pounds but by the time I trimmed it of fat it probably weighed only 2 pounds.
- Cut the roast: cut the roast into 8 pieces. This will cut down the pressure cooking time significantly. Plus each of those pieces gets browned so that’s more surface area that gets the lovely flavor.
- Season the roast: Season the roast pieces with garlic powder and pepper. The onion soup mix has lots of salt so you don’t need to salt the meat.
- Brown the roast: Brown the roast pieces for for 3-4 minutes and then turn over and brown on the other side. You may have to work in batches for this part. Believe me, it’s worth it.
- Deglaze the pot: Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. The browned bits add lots of flavor! Dump in the mushrooms and then sprinkle the onion soup mix over the top.
- Pressure cook: Adjust your manual/pressure cook button to 30 minutes. Use a long natural pressure release (about 15 minutes) so the meat stays tender.
- Shred the meat: Use tongs to place beef on a cutting board and then shred it.
- Quickly cook the noodles: Add the noodles into the pot and pressure cook for 3 minutes with a quick release. The pot will come to pressure quickly. If you’re using a different type of pasta you’ll want to increase cooking time to 5 or 6 minutes. Stir the meat into the pot.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes/Tips
- If you want to cook a whole frozen roast instead of cutting a fresh roast into pieces you can. I would still try to brown the roast a bit even if it is frozen. This will add more flavor. You can pressure cook a frozen roast for 90 minutes with a 15 minute natural pressure release.
- You can also use beef stew meat instead of roast. You’ll only need to pressure cook for 20 minutes with natural pressure release instead of 30 minutes.
- Other types of pasta you can use: frozen egg noodles, cavatappi, macaroni, penne, bowties, etc. These will all need more time to pressure cook than egg noodles. Probably 5-6 minutes.
- If you want more of a stroganoff flavor you can stir in a quarter cup of sour cream.
- To make I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in your 8 quart pot. Halve the recipe in your 3 quart pot.

could I throw in a can of cream of mushroom soup for some creaminess? and when would you suggest adding it?
Yes! Add it in on top of the onion soup mix
Making this tonight with Reames frozen Egg noodles. Do you know how long these would need to cook for?
Instead of the 3 minutes I would cook them for 7 minutes. The pot will come to pressure quickly since it will already be hot.
After putting the dry onion soup mix on top the other ingredients in the IP, do you stir it up before cooking? I be seen some recipes where you’re not supposed to stir it in. Thank you for your response. I’ll def be making this recipe when meat is thawed.
I just sprinkle it on and don’t stir 🙂
I’m making this for the second time tonight. It’s an easy, excellent recipe. Both times, I added a cup of red wine (Cabernet) along with the 2 cups of beef broth while cooking the meat which changes the flavor, but we like meat cooked in wine. I know some don’t. Also I’m out of mushrooms, so I decided to try to add some marinated artichoke hearts (with juice). I’ll stir those in after I cook the pasta so they don’t totally dissolve. We’ll see. Hopefully it turns out as well as your basic recipe did. I’ve linked it on Facebook.

I like the sound of the artichokes! I hope it turns out well for you!
I just made this and my usually picky husband ate two bowls. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The really deep flavors of the beef broth go well with the mushrooms, meat and noodles. We will be having this again many times in the future!
★★★★★
Thanks for the 5 stars Maggie! I’m so glad he liked it.
Can you use hamburger in this instead of the roast? Would the cooking time change?
You could do that. I would brown in the Instant Pot on the saute setting. I would also add in the noodles from the beginning and only pressure cook for 3 minutes total.
Fresh or canned mushrooms
I used fresh
As a woman, I loved this dish, I mean love! I had the opposite of others and wish there had been more sauce. By the time I cooked the noodles in the insta- pot, it wasn’t exceptionally wet. Just enough, but I definitely would have enjoyed more. I added sour cream at the very end which was a nice touch. I took someone’s advice to do it. I had some leftover beef and I can’t get over just how flavorful the beef was!! So I used that leftover beef in tacos. I would even keep this recipe aside just for the dynamic flavor of the beef!! Thank you for your endless recipes.

Thank you so much for the nice review and the 5 stars Dawn!
This was great! I didn’t cook the noodles in it because I wanted cauliflower rice with mine instead of noodles but I cooked some noodles on the side for my husband. I didn’t read the comments before making it so it was really soupy because I should have cut back on the broth. The flavor was wonderful though! Husband says he could eat this regularly, and I would have to agree!
★★★★★
Glad he liked it even though it was soupy!
Fantastic recipe. Next time I’ll double the noodles and use half as much meat. Great flavor!
★★★★★
Thanks for the 5 stars! So glad you enjoyed it!
Made this today for lunch. Beef came out great. I would probably do the noodles at 4 minutes since they came out a tad under al Dante but still had a lot of flavour since they steamed in the beef broth juices.
★★★★
Thanks Jordan!
Karen, you must have ESP & can read what’s left of my mind!! I took a pkg of stew beef out of freezer yesterday to thaw for today & BAM, here’s your email.
Got one question. I’ve got farro already cooked up, so I don’t want to cook the noodles in with this.
How much broth do I use if I’m NOT cooking noodles with this?
Will be back with stars.
I would only use a cup of liquid.
If you use stew beef do you brown first?
You can, but don’t have to! It will add more flavor if you do.
