  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups (480 ml) low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  3. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they release moisture and start to brown.
  5. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over the meat and mushrooms and stir well to coat.
  6. Pour in 2 cups beef broth, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen browned bits.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ for 8 minutes on high pressure.
  9. Allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.
  10. Meanwhile, cook egg noodles separately in salted boiling water for 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  11. Open the pot, stir everything well, turn off heat or set to ‘Keep Warm.’ Gently stir in 1 cup sour cream to keep sauce silky without curdling. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

Do not add sour cream while the pot is on high heat to avoid curdling; add it after pressure cooking is complete and the pot is off or on ‘Keep Warm’. Cook noodles separately to avoid mushiness. For gluten-free, swap egg noodles with gluten-free pasta. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt or cashew cream.
