# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Using the sauté function on the Instant Pot, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned and crumbled, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease, leaving only a few tablespoons in the pot.
02 -
Add finely chopped onion, nutmeg, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue sautéing until onions become translucent, about 2 minutes.
03 -
Stir in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Sauté the mixture for an additional 2 minutes to develop flavors.
04 -
Pour in beef broth and cream of mushroom soup. Add egg noodles and stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
05 -
Close and secure the Instant Pot lid. Select high-pressure setting and cook for 14 minutes. Allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then perform a quick release to release remaining pressure.
06 -
Open the lid carefully. Add sour cream and stir until fully incorporated, creating a creamy sauce.
07 -
Optional: Sprinkle fresh thyme over the stroganoff before serving for added aroma and color.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Use lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15) to minimize excess grease. Fresh thyme can be substituted with 1 teaspoon dried thyme or omitted based on preference.
02 -
This dish can be frozen for up to three months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
03 -
For stovetop preparation, brown beef with onions and garlic, then add other ingredients excluding noodles. Cook noodles separately according to package instructions, combine, and serve.
