About this Recipe
This Beef Stroganoff recipe is ready in just 30 minutes. That’s right, in only a half-hour you’ll have tender pieces of beef, mushrooms, and egg noodles all cooked in a delicious cream sauce. The great thing about making Instant Pot Stroganoff, other than the speed, is that the entire Stroganoff recipe comes together in one pot. It’s perfect for busy nights and simplifying your favorite dinners.
How to Store
- Serve: Don’t leave your stroganoff at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
- Store: After the stroganoff cools down, you can put it in an airtight container to store in the fridge. It will stay good for 3-4 days.
- Freeze: You can also freeze stroganoff for up to 3 months. Store it in an airtight container after it has cooled completely. Let it thaw in the fridge before reheating the dish.
Variations
- Noodles: If you don’t have egg noodles you can use other kinds of pasta in your Beef Stroganoff recipe. Penne, fettuccini, bow tie noodles, elbow macaroni, or orecchiette would all work.
- Creamy sauce: You can replace the sour cream in the sauce with Greek yogurt. You can also add other flavors to the liquid sauce ingredients. Mix in dijon mustard, or BBQ sauce with the beef broth for some extra flavor.
- Mushrooms: You can exchange crimini mushrooms in stroganoff with portabello mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, or white mushrooms.
- Meat: Instead of tender beef meat, try using simple ground beef in the recipe.
- Seasonings: Another way to experiment with Instant Pot Stroganoff is by adding seasonings and spices like fresh parsley, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, paprika, or red pepper flakes.

Made without the mushrooms since only 1 person here eats them. I didn’t have egg noodles, so I used shells and am out of sour cream but happened to have plain yogurt. Worked and tasted perfect! This is going on the rotation!
Hi Sabrina. I think you met add meat back in pot not onions. ?
Haha, sure did! Thanks for catching that. I’ve edited it to read correctly now.
Hi Sabrina,
I’ve loved every single recipe I’ve tried. Just started using my Instant Pot and thought I’d give this a try.. I believe you have a type on #3. It should read.. 3. Add the beef (not onions) back to the instant pot with garlic, mushrooms…
I’m so glad you’re loving the recipes and you’re right about the typo, it should read “beef” instead of “onions”. Thanks for letting me know. I hope you enjoy this one too!
