Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff is one of my family's favorite dinner recipes and has quickly become a fan favorite.
And after one bite, it is easy to see why!
Made with minimal effort and a handful of inexpensive ingredients, this Instant Pot Stroganoff recipe delivers a cozy, comforting dinner that is filled with flavor--and none of the preservatives found in condensed mushroom soup!
Helpful Tips to Note Before We Start
- Options for Meat: Swap out the ground beef for ground chicken or turkey.
- Add Wine for Depth. While optional, adding a bit of dry red wine or dry Marsala wine adds a rich, intense flavor.
- Opt for Bella or Cremini Mushrooms. Both options yield more flavorful results than button mushrooms.
- Use Exact Timing. Pressure cook the stroganoff for 5 minutes, allow pressure to release for exactly 5 minutes, then do a quick release of remaining pressure. This is key to perfectly cooked egg noodles.
- No Slurry Needed. Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff is given a rich, thick sauce with the addition of sour cream, rather than adding flour or a cornstarch slurry to the stroganoff.
How to Make Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff
While this recipe for Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff is easy to make, if you are unfamiliar with cooking in an Instant Pot, start with How to Use an Instant Pot for the best results on this recipe and future Instant Pot recipes. You will find the full recipe in detail in the recipe card.
- Sauté Ground Beef. Using the sauté function, sauté the ground beef with a minced onion, breaking up the beef as it cooks.
- Add Mushrooms and Garlic. Once the beef is almost fully cooked, add in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Continue to sauté briefly to soften the mushrooms and toast the garlic.
- Deglaze Inner Pot. With the sauté function still on, add in the wine (or additional broth), and using a spatula or wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the inner pot, to prevent potential burn warning. Allow the wine to cook for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly and for the alcohol to cook off. Once reduced, hit cancel to turn off the sauté function.
- Layer Ingredients. Add the beef stock, seasonings, and Worcestershire sauce to the inner pot and stir to combine. Add the noodles and gently push them into the sauce to submerge. It is okay if the noodles aren't completely submerged in the liquid.
- Pressure Cook. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, ensuring the vent knob is sealed. Set to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Let Pressure Release For 5 Minutes. Once the cooking time has elapsed, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, do a quick release of any remaining pressure, by knocking the venting knob from the sealed to the venting position. Be sure to stand away from the vent knob when releasing pressure to protect yourself from steam.
- Add Sour Cream: To give the stroganoff a rich creamy finish, stir sour cream into the cooked noodles and beef and then serve.
Recipe Modifications
- Alcohol-Free: Use additional beef broth in place of the wine.
- Use Whole Grains: Whole wheat egg noodles can be used with no change to the cook time.
- Lighten-it Up: Use plain Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream.
- Lower the Sodium: To reduce the sodium in this recipe, use low-sodium beef broth and omit the salt, or cut the salt in half, in the Dried Onion Soup mix.
- Frozen Meat? Start this recipe by preparing Instant Pot Ground Beef to defrost and cook the ground meat. Saute the onions with the cooked beef until the onion has softened, and then proceed with the recipe as directed.
- No Instant Pot? Use my stove top recipe for Ground Beef Stroganoff.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
- Refrigerate: Allow the leftover Instant Pot Stroganoff to cool slightly and then store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Freeze: I don't recommend freezing leftover beef stroganoff due to the fact the sour cream can separate once thawed.
- Reheat: To reheat the stroganoff, I suggest adding a bit of stock or water to keep the noodles moist and reheat in the microwave in a heat-safe dish until warmed through.

Video
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef, or ground turkey
- ¼ cup minced onion, optional
- 16 ounces sliced baby portabella mushrooms, or cremini mushrooms
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ cup dry red wine, or additional beef stock
- 4 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Homemade Dry Onion Soup Mix, or store-bought dry onion soup mix
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles, whole wheat or regular
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté function, add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to the inner pot and let heat briefly, ~30-60 seconds. Once heated, add 1 pound lean ground beef and ¼ cup minced onion. Sauté the ground beef and onion, breaking up the beef as it cooks.
- Once the meat is mostly browned, add 16 ounces sliced baby portabella mushrooms (sliced), and 1 clove garlic (minced) to the inner pot and continue to sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the meat is fully browned. If needed, remove the inner pot from the Instant Pot, drain off excess oil, and then return the inner pot back to the Instant Pot.
- While the Instant Pot is still on the sauté function, add ½ cup dry red wine, and scrape up all the browned bits off the bottom of the Instant Pot, while letting the wine reduce and the alcohol cook off. After 1-2 minutes turn off the sauté function by hitting cancel on the Instant Pot.
- Add 4 cups reduced-sodium beef broth, 2 tablespoons Homemade Dry Onion Soup Mix, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce to Instant Pot and stir to combine. Add in 12 ounces wide egg noodles to the inner pot and gently push down into the liquid. It is okay if they are not fully submerged, just be sure they are in an even layer.
- Place the lid on the pressure cooker and be sure the lid is locked and knob is sealed or pointed towards "sealed" not venting. Set to cook on high pressure by hitting the manual or pressure cook button and adjusting to 5 minutes.
- Once the cooking time has elapsed, let pressure release naturally for EXACTLY 5 minutes. Then do a quick release of any remaining pressure by carefully knocking the venting knob from the sealed to the venting position. Be sure to stand away from the vent knob when releasing pressure to protect yourself from the steam.
- Remove the lid, and stir 1 cup full-fat sour cream until creamy and combined. Serve immediately with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Ground Meat: Use lean ground beef, turkey, or chicken.
Wine: For the dry red wine, use a merlot or cabernet. Marsala wine also works well in this dish but will be a bit sweeter. Never use cooking wine, as the flavor is not the same.
For the Homemade Dried Onion Soup Mix: Mix together 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon celery powder, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or ½ teaspoon of salt for lower sodium).
Leftovers: Leftovers of this dish can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers due to the sour cream.
Reheating: To reheat the stroganoff, I suggest adding a bit of stock or water to keep the noodles moist and reheat in the microwave.

Hi~ made this today, yum! I had also bought a sirloin steak, froze it a bit to slice thin and seared a few pieces while IP was doing its thing to add a bit more protein if desired individually. Also made a batch of the onion soup mix ~ yay no more extra chemicals! Thanks for being my GO TO recipe source!
I love hearing I have become your go to recipe source! Thank you so very much for sharing! And what a great idea to top with seared sirloin as well.
Hello Kristen,
I used this recipe as a jumping off point to make dinner last night and it was delicious! I used penne pasta that is more dense than the pasta I usually cook, but the liquid and cook time was perfect. I might decrease the liquid a bit if I were using a less dense pasta.
I also didn't have enough broth, but used half chicken broth and half water with the full amount of wine. I also used added spinach spinach to the pasta and omitted the mushrooms. We served it with parmesean on the side.
Like I said, lots of tweaks, but the recipe was a great starting point. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing the modifications 🙂 I am sure it will be helpful for others.
I’d give this 100 stars ⭐️ if I could!!! This is my 2nd time making this and it did not disappoint! Thank you Kristin!!!
Fabulous! I love hearing this!
After a busy day when you want to make something quick and tasty this recipe is it! Great comfort food that I am excited to make again!
Wonderful! I am so happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe, Gina!
I love that this is such an easy, simple weeknight dinner. I'm a huge fan of the wide egg noodles, they're so filling and tasty, and perfect for soaking up the sauce! 10/10, and so simple to make!
5 stars for ease and 10 stars for taste. It’s definitely a top scoring recipe. I made it using ground turkey instead of beef. I didn’t have dry red wine so I use 1/4 cup marsala mixed with 1/4 cup water to keep it from being to sweet. It worked. The whole dish was so delicious! Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
Thanks for sharing Ann! I love hearing you enjoyed and thanks for sharing your modifications.
Against my better judgement, I tried this in my Instant Pot. Noodles were mush (as suspected) —I like al dente. Sauce was a bit bland and I kept thinking it was missing something. I did follow recipe, exactly. Next day when eating leftovers, had an ah ha moment—a tiny bit of Dijon is needed in sauce. Fresh thyme would also be a nice addition. Needed a lot of Himalayan salt. Not sure this needs doing in Instant Pot. Will cook noodles separately and add at end, next time (and less of them). Also, would use standard white mushrooms next time. I do appreciate the onion soup substitute recipe and have that in my pantry, now. I also don’t use canned soups—horrible ingredients. So appreciate that, too. My husband thought it was fine, but he doesn’t mind soggy, mushy pasta. Not me. It’ll eat, but noodles don’t belong in instant pot unless you like them mushy. Easy fix, just an extra pot. I do see a lot of noodle recipes for Instant Pot—maybe I am an anomaly. Might add a few more tweaks. This is a decent base to work from. Just couldn’t give it five stars due to noodle mush and a bit on bland side for me.
Hi Robyn. I really find that the timing on this works to keep them from not being mushy at all, I am sorry you found it not to be the case. Thanks for sharing your suggestions for adding flavor--Dijon and thyme are delicious additions for sure to just about anything 🙂
Hi Robin, I’m an al dente pasta girl and had the same concern about pasta cooked in the instant pot. I’ve made several pasta dish recipes with noodles in my instant pot cooking them for only 3 minutes and they’re came out great. I hope this might help.
