Instant Pot Beef Tips with Gravy
One of my favorite gifts I received for Christmas this year was an Instant Pot. It has taken me a long time to get on the Instant Pot band wagon. One, I didn’t know if I really needed another kitchen appliance taking up room on my pantry shelves. Two, the thought of using a pressure cooker scared the dickens out of me. After meticulously reading the instruction manual, and yes even watching a “How-To” video on YouTube, this recipe for Instant Pot Beef Tips with Gravy came together in a snap and earned rave reviews.
The first thing I did when I opened the box containing my new and shiny red Instant Pot, was search for the recipe booklet. I couldn’t wait to try one of the recipes they suggested. I flipped through the pages, then I went back and flipped through them again.
Nope nothing. Not one recipe jumped off the pages and said…. “Make Me!”
Alright Instant Pot. If your are not going to suggest a recipe for me to try I am going to have to come up with my own. So I turned to one of my favorite slow cooker meals for inspiration.
These beef tips come together quickly.
(A Win!)
And with few ingredients.
(A Double Win!!)
A couple pounds of stew meat, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and dry onion soup mix.
That’s it!
This recipe has always taken about 8 hours in my slow cooker, but with the help of my Instant Pot, dinner was ready in about an hour.
An hour!
That my friends is the power of a pressure cooker.
Look how fork tender the meat is. It just falls apart!
I love to serve this over cooked egg noodles. It would also, be delicious on mashed potatoes, cooked rice, or Grandma’s spaetzle.
The perfect (quick) comfort meal for a cold winter’s night.
