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 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.

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.
