Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 lbs beef tips stew meat or top sirloin cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 ½ cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add the olive oil. Once hot, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 2–3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

  • Add the beef tips and sear for about 1 minute to develop flavor. (This step creates the Maillard reaction — the browning that gives you that deep, rich taste!)
