This 21 Day Fix Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff is my healthy take on the classic family dinner.
YOU GUYS. Have you heard that I went to FREAKING GOOGLE last week?? I went for a conference with my blogger besties and while we learned a lot of great blog-related things... it was such a girl's weekend at Google! We ate, we drank, we were so damn merry it wasn't even funny.
We also did a soft-launch of a new joint product while we were all together... but more about that on another day!
Seriously, how cute are they (and our android kit kat buddy)? These ladies are some of the most hard-working, talented, creative and hilarious women I've had the pleasure to know. So proud and happy to call them my business partners! That's me on the left in this pic and if you don't already know, they are (from left to right) Nancylynn at Confessions of a Fit Foodie, Becca at My Crazy Good Life and Carrie at Carrie Elle. ♥♥♥
Ok, now that I've waxed poetic (why do I love that phrase so much?) about my awesome peeps, let's get back to this 21 Day Fix Instant Pot beef stroganoff!
Is there anything better then using your Instant Pot to make deliciously tender beef (like in this recipe)? Ok, so I don't really know, the Instant Pot is magical for SO many things, but this is one of my favorites 😉
I'm honestly sitting here wondering what else there is to say about this delicious family dinner, but I feel like you all know what it is. It's creamy, it's belly-filling, it's the kind of classic comfort food that we all love and I think you should go make it. I'd say that about covers it!
My family really enjoyed this one, I hope yours does, too!

📖 Recipe
Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 1 Tbs butter
- 2 cups sliced onions
- 6 cups sliced cremini mushrooms (about 16 oz)
- 1 Tbs dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste - I like a lot in mine!
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 Tbs sherry wine (not cooking sherry! I recommend Taylor brand)
- 3 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 2 ½ lbs of beef, trimmed and sliced very thin against the grain into bite-sized pieces (I've used beef chuck roast, eye of round and flank steak and they all came out great!) - once trimmed, this usually ends up being about 2 lbs of meat
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- 4 cups uncooked whole wheat egg noodles (8 oz)
Instructions
- Using the saute function on your Instant Pot, melt the butter in the insert, then saute the onions and mushrooms, seasoning with the salt, pepper, dried dill and thyme for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms start to cook down. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute or so.
- Add the sherry and Worcestershire, making sure to get up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot with your spoon. Stir in the meat. Close the lid, set to meat/stew setting for 15 minutes, when it beeps let it naturally release the pressure for 5 minutes, then you can release the rest of the pressure and open the lid.
- Add the dry pasta to the pot and stir everything together. Put the lid back on and set on manual for 1 minute. When it's finished, you can quickly release the pressure. Stir in the Greek yogurt. (The noodles that are on top will look a little dry before stirring in the yogurt, they'll be completely fine once everything gets stirred together!).
- Check your seasonings in case you want to add a little more of anything and enjoy!

Jenn says
Meal prepping this recipe for the 1st time; excited to try it. Do you have an estimated measurement for each portion? I know the recipe is 8 servings, but didn't know how it breaks down per serving. Thanks!
Stephanie says
Hi! Yes, it's actually at the very bottom of the recipe card - it's 1 1/4 cups per serving! Hope you love it!
Carrie says
It was great. My boyfriend even liked it. We usually eat different things. Thank you.
Stephanie says
So happy to hear that!!
Jess says
I made this but the sauce was think and looked almost curdled. I may try to mix some corn starch with the yogurt. Any other thoughts?
Stephanie says
When did you add the yogurt? Before or after cooking?
Erika says
I agree with Jess. Delicious but the yogurt appeared to have curdled. Followed directions and stirred the yogurt in after the noodles cooked. Might need to temper with some of the juices first and then add it in next time. Good recipe otherwise!
Stephanie says
Hmm... so strange! I can't tell you how many times I've made this and that's never happened to me. Racking my brain to figure out why! Curious, what kind of yogurt are you using?
Jennifer says
This happened to me as well. However, I used NF Greek yogurt…could that have been the problem?
Other than it not being very creamy, it had amazing flavor, and it was very easy. This is the first time I tried the “meat/stew” option. What does it do differently than just regular pressure cook?
Emily Feehery says
Hi! This looks awesome! I have a gluten allergy though 🙁 Any chance brown rice pasta would work in this? Would I use the same cook time?
Stephanie says
Hi! You can definitely make it with GF pasta - I would try it at zero minutes (you can set it to zero and it'll cook in the time it takes to come to pressure). I've never tested it with brown rice pasta though, so I'm not 100% on the time. If they're not quite cooked, I would give the whole mixture a stir and pop the lid back on (leaving on warm) for a few minutes and they should soften up 😊
Lara Pitek says
Could the beef be swapped with chicken? What adjustments would need to be made?
Stephanie says
Hi! Yes, I would do everything the same, but only set the IP for 5 minutes. 🙂
Kara Cunningham says
How long do you think it needs to cook on the stove. I have not got onto the Instapot bandwagon yet 🙂
Stephanie says
Hi! I haven't tested it, but I would guess between 10-15 minutes 🙂 Hope you love it!
Alexis says
Stephanie...THANK YOU so much for this recipe!!
If you ask anyone in my family what my favorite dish was growing up it's stroganoff. I've tried over the years making it on the stove and in the crock pot with no luck so I gave up.
GIRL...I tried this recipe and it was perfection. Tender meat, savory and almost just like Moms. The only thing I did different from the recipe was double the Worcestershire because I didn't have the wine.
There are leftovers and I'm using all my will power to not gorge till it's gone. I will most definitely dream about and look forward to eating this tomorrow.
So happy I gave it 1 more try.
Stephanie says
"Just like Mom's" is the best compliment ever!! Thanks so much, Alexis, I'm happy you gave it another try, too!
Taylor says
Hi! I don't have sherry wine on hand. Was wondering if pino grigio would work? If not is there something else I could replace it with?
Stephanie says
Hi! If I don't have sherry I usually just replace it with extra worcestershire in this recipe!
Lindsay says
Could this recipe be doubled if so would cooking time change?
Stephanie says
Hi! I think you could probably double it in an 8 quart pot but it might be pretty tight in a 6. I would keep the same time!
Connie says
Made this in my 8 qt tonight and it was really good. I should have added more liquid as you recommended. But I added more when it was finished and the noodles were tender once I let it set for awhile. I will put this recipe on our favorites list going forward. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m going to try more of your recipes.
Stephanie says
I'm so glad you liked it! (sorry for the late response, I've been on vacation!)
Kelsey says
Any suggestions on making this if the flank steak is still frozen?
Stephanie says
Hmm... I really don't think it would work out well. The beef cooks perfectly for this because it's sliced thin. Plus it wouldn't fit, right? You'd probably have a heck of a time sawing through it to make it fit. This is definitely one that I'd thaw first.
Janet says
I loved this recipe as stroganoff is one of my very favorite recipes. However, I have an 8 qt. IP and this is the second recipe that I've made and the noodles have come out half done when I've followed the directions. I did add more liquid to this recipe, but they still came out crunchy. What suggestions do you have to help modify recipes from 6 qt to 8 qt. Thanks!
Stephanie says
Hmm... how much liquid did you add? Were all of the noodles underdone, or just the ones on the top? Maybe there are some tips in this post that might help you! https://mycrazygoodlife.com/instant-pot-cooking-differences/
Sarah says
Thank you so much for what you do! You are making my healthier for me journey that much tastier.
I made the beef stroganoff tonight, loved it by the way, but my fam was not impressed with the sherry flavor. Any suggestions to replace it with??
Stephanie says
Hey Sarah! Oh man! Sorry the fam didn't like it (that's my favorite part! 🙂 ) Easy to get around it though, you can either sub it with more Worcestershire or a little beef broth. Hope everyone enjoys it without the sherry!
Diana says
I am set on trying this recipe. I love beef stroganoff!! But I can not find whole wheat egg noodles!! I’ve looked in Fredmeyers, Safeway, QFC, Trader Joe’s and PCC. Where do you get it? What brand?
Much appreciated!
Stephanie says
Hey! I thought I put it in the post but maybe I didn't, I'll have to double check! I buy Hodgson Mill brand and I get them from Amazon, but I just checked and they're out of them right now! Walmart carries these... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Whole-Wheat-Egg-Noodles-12-oz/13399545
Andrea says
Can I use a different wine? Can't find sherry wine. Any red wine? Or marsala wine for cooking?
Stephanie says
Hey Andrea! What a bummer! The sherry is SO good! It's ok though, you can definitely use another wine. I would probably go with Marsala but most wines would be great here (oh, preferably not Marsala cooking wine though, just regular Marsala wine if you can get it - cooking wines tend to have added ingredients, often a bunch of added salt, just fyi). Hope you love it!
Sandy says
I made this last night using moose meat, it was fantastic! It really made the meat tender. Thank you so much for this recipe. This is going to become a regular meal for us.
Stephanie says
Ah! This made my day, Sandy!! So happy to hear this!
Sara Bechely says
I tried this in the 6 quart IP as directed and the noodles did not cook after 1 minute. I had to add beef broth and tried 1 minute manual two more times.
There was almost no sauce either.
Stephanie says
Hmm... not sure what could have happened... are you at a high altitude by any chance? That can affect pressure cooking. Also, did you use the same amount of veggies as I did in the recipe? They let off a lot of the liquid that ends up getting used to cook the pasta.
K says
I made this today in my duo mini , I just halved the recipe. It turned out great!
Stephanie says
Oh yay! Good to know and glad you liked it!
Laura says
About to make this and it doesn’t seem like there is enough liquid to cook the pasta? Do you have to add any broth?
Stephanie says
Hey Laura! Sorry I'm just seeing this, we're in the middle of a move! You don't need any extra liquid because the veggies in here put off so much as they cook! Did you end up making it? I hope you loved it if you did!!
Paula says
I missed the note about this recipe being tested for the 6qt. I have an 8 qt. I have the meat in now, should I add more liquid when I add the noodles? Beef broth?
Stephanie says
Hey Paula, I'm sure I didn't get to you in time since I see you already had this going, but I probably would've added 1/4 cup of either beef broth or extra worcestershire and sherry.
Brittany says
I realllllly want to try this recipe out but do not have an instant pot 🙁 Do you have directions as to how I can cook it either on the stove or in a slow cooker?
Stephanie says
Hey Brittany! I haven't tested this any other way so I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction! Your best bet is to check Pinterest for a stove top or slow cooker version. Sorry I wasn't more help!
