Instant Pot Beef Tips With Gravy Using Onion Soup Mix Get On My Plate Recipes

INSTANT POT BEEF TIPS

Steps:

• 1. Sprinkle pepper on your beef tips. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together beef broth and gravy packets. Set aside. 2. Set Instant Pot to sauté mode and add oil. Add beef tips and sauté until browned on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Add onion, sauté for 3-4 minutes with beef. Add garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds, then turn off sauté mode. 3. Add Worcestershire sauce and onion soup mix to the instant pot, then pour in the gravy/beef broth mixture. Spread mushrooms on top of the beef tips. Then spread cream of mushroom soup in as even of a layer as you can on top of the mushrooms. 4. Seal the pressure cooker with the lid. Select Manual (or Pressure Cook button depending on your instant pot model) and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Don't forget, it will take about 10 minutes for the instant pot to come to pressure and then the timer to start counting down. 5. When the cook time finishes, let the pot sit undisturbed for a 20 minute natural release (meaning do not touch the instant pot for 20 minutes after it says it's done cooking). Then turn the steam release knob to Venting to release any remaining pressure and open the lid. 6. Stir the beef tips and the gravy. If you are happy with the thickness, you can serve it immediately. If you prefer a thicker gravy like me, use the cornstarch to make a slurry. 7. How to make a slurry: Place cornstarch in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of broth/gravy from the instant pot into the cornstarch and stir. Continue adding gravy 1 tablespoon at a time until the slurry is smooth and a good consistency. Then stir the slurry into the instant pot, and stir really well. Let beef tips rest for 5 minutes and the gravy will thicken! 8. Serve as desired over mashed potatoes or egg noodles! Don't forget the buttered rolls to soak up the extra gravy!

INSTANT POT® BEEF TIPS

Steps:

• Mix flour, steak seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and pepper together in a 1-gallon zip-top bag. Add sirloin strips and shake until evenly coated.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. When the pot is hot, add the oil. Then add 1/2 of the steak in one layer. Brown both sides, about 5 minutes, but don't cook through, and remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining meat.
• Add butter, then onion to the pot. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pot, scraping up all of the browned bits. Add the garlic; stir. Cook for about 20 seconds, then add the red wine. Add consomme, Worcestershire sauce, beef bouillon, and thyme leaves. Mix well to dissolve the bouillon. Cancel the Saute setting. Add the beef tips back into the pot. Close and lock the lid.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir, taste gravy, and adjust salt if necessary.

INSTANT POT BEEF TIPS WITH GRAVY (USING ONION SOUP MIX)

Steps:

• Set Instant Pot to Sauté (high heat) and allow to come to temperature for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, place meat in a medium bowl. Season with salt, pepper and seasoned salt. Then toss with flour until evenly coated.
• Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to Instant Pot then add beef in an even layer (you may have to do two batches depending on the size of your pot). Cook on one side for 3-4 minutes until a nice brown "crust" has formed on one side. Then flip the meat and cook another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Remove beef from pot, cover and set aside.
• Add remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil to the Instant Pot. Add onion and wine and cook for 2-3 minutes making sure you scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to get all the browned bits ((THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT so you don't get a BURN warning on your Instant Pot)).
• Turn Instant Pot OFF. Add beef (and all juices) back into the Instant Pot, along with dry onion soup mix, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme sprigs.
• Cover and set Instant Pot to "Pressure Cook" and cook on high pressure for 25-30 minutes (see Note 2). Allow AT LEAST 10 minutes of natural pressure release. After 10 minutes, you can manually release the rest of the pressure.
• Optional, to thicken the gravy: Turn Instant Pot to Sauté (high heat). Mix 2 tablespoons of corn starch with 1/2 cup of COLD water or beef stock. Mix until smooth, then add to Instant Pot. Give everything a big stir. Gravy should thicken up in 2-3 minutes!

INSTANT POT® BEEF TIPS WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Place beef tips in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add flour and stir to coat.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil and let it get hot. Add beef tips and saute until browned, about 3 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add onion and mushrooms and saute for 1 minute. Add broth, wine, and Worcestershire sauce; cook for 1 minute while scraping off the brown bits with a wooden spoon.
• Return beef tips to the pot and stir until everything is evenly combined. Pour condensed soup over top; do not stir.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Let sit until gravy has thickened, about 10 minutes.

INSTANT POT BEEF TIPS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Season beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
• Press the SAUTE button the Instant Pot and let it heat up. Once it's hot, add olive oil to pot.
• Add half of the beef tips to the hot pot and saute for about 1 minute (just to sear the outside). Flip over and saute for one more minute. Remove beef tips from Instant Pot.
• Repeat with other half of beef tips, adding more olive oil if needed.
• Dump all beef tips back into Instant Pot and place onions and mushrooms on top. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pot, loosening up all the browned bits so that you don't get the "BURN" message on your pot (and getting maximum flavor in your dish!).
• In a mixing bowl, mix together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, red wine vinegar and Italian seasoning. Pour on top of beef tips, onion, and mushrooms.
• Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and move the valve to SEALING. Press the MANUAL (PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 30 minutes.
• When the timer is done, let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (it will take at least 20 minutes, but I even prefer to let the beef sit in there for a couple hours to make sure it is super tender).
• Remove the lid and press the SAUTE button.
• In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch together with water in a separate bowl. Pour cornstarch mixture into Instant Pot and mix well. Cook on SAUTE for a few minutes or until the liquid starts to thicken and turns into a gravy.
• Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or hot noodles.
