Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat (or sirloin tips, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Turn the Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and add the olive oil. When hot, add the beef stew meat in batches and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the browned meat and set aside.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze and remove any browned bits.
Stir in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, dried thyme, and black pepper. Return the seared beef to the pot, along with any juices collected from the plate.
Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to 'Sealing'. Select 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' mode and set the timer for 25 minutes on high pressure.
Once the cooking time is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. Then carefully do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Turn the Instant Pot back to 'Sauté' mode and stir the slurry into the beef mixture. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the beef tips over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
