Savory Beef Tips in Red Wine Sauce Instant Pot Recipe

Savory beef tips use to take hours to cook, until the Instant pot or electric pressure cookers. Now this savory dish cooks up tender and tasty in no time! This recipe is perfect when you want a homecooked meal that is comforting and tasty, but you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.

The Meat

I like to use top sirloin for this dish because most of the fat has been trimmed away. Since this cook in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker, you can go with a cheaper cut of meat and it will still be tender.

The Mushrooms

I usually use button mushrooms in this dish and will frequently decrease the amount of meat and increase the number of mushrooms. Since the sauce is so rich and flavourful, the mushrooms will take on a lot of the sauce's flavor, making more expensive mushrooms unnecessary.

Ingredients

• 3 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound), cubed
• 2 Cloves of garlic crushed
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ⅓ cup dry red wine or beef broth
• ½ pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms
• 1 small onion, halved and sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 to 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• ¼ cup cold water

Instructions

1. Select saute setting on a 6-qt. Electric pressure cooker and adjust for medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons oil. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Brown meat in batches, adding oil as needed. Transfer meat to a bowl.
2. Add wine to the cooker, stirring to loosen browned bits. Return beef to cooker; add the mushrooms, onion, broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Lock lid; close the pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 15 minutes—quick-release pressure.
3. Select saute setting and adjust for low heat; bring the liquid to a boil. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into beef mixture. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles
