Making Stroganoff Creamy

Instead of using canned soup (or even sour cream or cream cheese), I stirred plain Greek yogurt into the Instant Pot with the beef stroganoff at the end.It gives the stroganoff lots of comforting richness without a lot of fat and provides extra protein too.It is also less fussy than a corn starch slurry.

The Best Beef for Beef Stroganoff

For the beef, I used sirloin, which is lean and turns out incredibly tender when cooked in the Instant Pot. Chuck roast (like in Instant Pot Pot Roast) would also work well.I do not recommend stew meat, as the pieces are all cut into different sizes and will cook in different amounts of time.You are best off buying a single piece of sirloin or chuck roast and cubing it yourself.
