Instant Pot Beef and Gravy

Sometimes you just need some good old comfort food. This beef and gravy with mushrooms fits the bill. Especially when served with mashed potatoes. Unfortunately I couldn’t figure out a way to make the mashed potatoes at the same time in the same pot. Anyone have any ideas on how to do that? I just ended up using my second Instant Pot for the potatoes. And that’s why second pots come in handy 🙂

This reminds me of a combination of beef stew and beef stroganoff. Just a good hearty meal. I loved the addition of mushrooms and would have preferred just a few more mushrooms in there!

If you really want to up the flavor you can brown the stew meat before pressure cooking it. I was in a hurry so I didn’t do this step. But by browning the beef it would add great flavor. You can do this before you add in the onions and mushrooms.

If you can’t find stew meat at your grocery store you can always buy a chuck roast instead. Just cut up the roast into bite size pieces. I like to cut my meat when it is partially frozen. It’s so much easier to cut. I throw the meat in the freezer when I get home from the store for an hour and then cut it up.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?

To make Instant Pot Beef and Gravy I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly.  It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

Description

Tender bites of beef with mushrooms served with a savory gravy. Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles or rice. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 pound sliced mushrooms (I used white button mushrooms)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (plus more for serving)
  • 1 1/2 pounds beef stew meat (or a chuck roast cut into cubes)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch + 3 Tbsp cold water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. When the display says HOT add in the butter and swirl it around until it is melted. Add in the onion and saute for about 2 minutes. Then add in the mushrooms and saute for about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for 20 seconds. 
  2. Deglaze the pot with the beef broth. Add in the Worcestershire sauce, stew meat and salt and pepper. 
  3. Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 30 minutes. When the time is up let the pot naturally release. 
  4. Remove the lid. Turn the pot to the saute setting. Stir the cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth. Add the mixture into the Instant Pot. The sauce will thicken quickly. 
  5. Add extra Worcestershire sauce to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. 
  6. Serve the beef and gravy over mashed potatoes, egg noodles or rice. 

Notes

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. 

To make gluten free: use a gluten free Worcestershire sauce and beef broth.

    I truly have never left a comment on an internet recipe before, but I am eating this as leftovers for my lunch, and I just have to say this turned out to be so delicious! It reminds me of some recipe or another from my childhood. It’s flavorful, EASY, and satisfying.

    This has the same cook time as your meatloaf and mashed potatoes. In that recipe, you put the water and potatoes in the bottom and meat in a foil sling on top. Couldn’t you put the potatoes in your Fat Daddio and set it on top of the meat? I might try it tonight because I have stew meat and potatoes that need to get used.

    To make potatoes at the same time couldnd you put them pot in pot? Or after browning the meat put it in the upper pan with the potatoes in the water?

      I like that idea! I bet it would work great! 30 minutes should be enough time for quartered or cubed pot in pot potatoes.

      Will you be using your Instant Pot slow cooker setting or just a regular slow cooker? I would cook for 6-8 hours on low on a regular slow cooker. And if you’re using the slow cooker setting on your Instant Pot use the highest slow cooker setting for the same amount of time.

    Is the meat in this recipe frozen or thawed? If thawed do you could less than 30 minutes?

      It was frozen chunks of stew meat when I made it. I would do anywhere between 20-30 minutes but make sure to use a natural pressure release.

    Hi Karen, looks delicious. Could I also add baby carrots to this? and then a cup of peas at the end to include veggies?

      You could do that. I bet the carrots will hold up okay, they’ll be really soft though.

    Hey, so i’m new to the InstantPot, i’m just wondering, for like this recipe, do you pressure cook it on high, medium or low. Same as when you saute?

    Reply

      July 22, 2019 at 12:39 pm

      high. I almost exclusively use high pressure. And saute it’s the highest setting.

    Hi
    I am new to instant pot. I was just watching your intro to instant pot. It is very helpful! On the video you mentioned at downloadable handout that you have. I am probably looking in the wrong place.
    Can you please send the link to me?
    Thank you,

    I have a 6 quart instant pot but I only cook for one person and sometimes it’s really hard to divide these recipes in half
    I wish you would add 1/2 recipes like you do with 1 x 2 x 3 x
    I know it sounds silly that you could just divide the whole recipe in half but sometimes it’s easier to read and make the recipe.
    Thank you

    I’ve made the banana bread (pudding) twice in one week. I added softened dried cherries plus a handful of dried cranberries, 1 tsp of mixed essence, and used 1/2 of a “carrot” Betty Crocker cake mix.. served it with vanilla ice cream.
    My husband loved it so much that he requested it again! It’s small, but heavy!!
    Now my creativity is in full swing.. next time I’ll soften the dried cherries in spice flavoured Rum!!
    It was absolutely DELISH!!!
    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
