Tender meat, creamy sauce, dreamy noodles, and little effort? This recipe checks all the boxes!

I always loved beef stroganoff nights growing up. My mom and grandma made a delicious stovetop version that would simmer to tender perfection for hours. We would typically put it over noodles, but sometimes we would put it over rice and that was super tasty as well.

Ever on the lookout for more Instant Pot recipes, I decided to give this classic comfort food a try. This recipe is super family-friendly and the perfect quick-fix, healthy meal for a busy evening. We are talking one pot and done, friends 👊🏼.

Who do we thank for Beef Stroganoff? i.e. Origins of Beef Stroganoff

This dish is thought to have originated in Russia. Produced for the affluent Stroganov family by their French chefs. (Side note – my French chefs have never prepared this for me, not once. Yours?) It was included in a classic Russian cookbook published in 1871 entitled, “A Gift to Young Housewives”. Today there are so many variations of stroganoff that have evolved over time and location. We have the Stroganov’s French chefs to thank for the original recipe which provides the basis of beef stroganoff as we enjoy it today!

Beef Stroganoff easy recipe from scratch

In this recipe, there will be no canned cream soups used. I’ve pretty much eliminated my use of canned cream soups in life and I have to admit, I don’t miss them. Beef stroganoff is super simple to make from scratchier scratch with common ingredients. I used top sirloin as the meat in this dish. Many other recipes call for stew meat. You could easily make that substitution, but I can vouch that the top sirloin was delicious and tender. At the very end, you can add the traditional sour cream or substitute plain (whole milk) greek yogurt. Do not skimp on calories here! The additional fat in the whole milk variety of plain greek yogurt helps to protect your delicious dinner from curdling when you mix the yogurt with the piping hot ingredients in the Instant Pot.
