The days are getting shorter….and colder! You know what that means right??? COMFORT FOOD!!! Pressure cooking used to be outside of my comfort zone, that is until Cosori sent me their 6-Quart Premium Pressure Cooker to try. Now with a dinner recipe under my belt I’m starting to feel like I’m becoming a real pro! Pressure Cooker Beef Tips are satisfying, filling and a cinch to make. Say goodbye to hours and hours of cooking time in the crockpot. Pressure Cooker Beef Tips are ready in under an hour (and that’s including pressurizing time too!). The beef cooks up melt in your mouth, tender and tasty, smothered in a rich mushroom gravy. I would just go ahead and double this one right now!

Here’s all you’ll need: olive oil, beef top sirloin steak, salt, pepper, beef broth, sliced mushrooms, onion, Worcestershire sauce, corn starch, and parsley to garnish.

First select the saute setting on your pressure cooker and adjust the temp to high heat (300 degrees should do the trick). Next add one tablespoons of olive oil right to the pan. The most comforting part of Pressure Cooker Beef Tips is that it’s prepared in just a single pot. And you can let this pot soak a little. I’m in no rush to do the dishes!

Chop up the beef into 1-inch chunks and season with salt and pepper. Pre chunked Beef Stew meat will make your life even easier! Just sayin.

Add the meat to the pressure cooker and brown (in batches if necessary). You can add a little more oil if you need to. Browning the beef gives this recipe even more added flavor. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside. Mix in 1/3 cup of beef broth or a dry red wine if you’re feeling fancy and stir to loosen the brown bits. You know you’re going to have a flavorful sauce when browned bits are involved! You can go ahead and turn off the heat too. We’ll be switching heat settings in a second.

Next return the beef to the pot. Add in the sliced mushrooms, onions, 2 cups beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Toss to coat. The most important part of pressure cooking is the liquid. You always, Always, ALWAYS have to add liquid when pressure cooking because that’s what creates the pressure and steam. If you can remember that then you really can’t mess anything up. Secure the lid, making sure the pressure vent is closed. Now select the manual setting, adjust the pressure to high heat and set the timer for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile as the beef tips are cooking, we can go ahead and mix up our thickening agent for the gravy. 3 Tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup of water should do the trick! Stir it up until its nice and smooth.

When cooking has finished, use the quick-release pressure valve and release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions. Select the saute setting once again and adjust the temperature to high heat. Bring the liquid to a boil, then pour in the cornstarch mixture. Cook and stir until the sauce has thickened. This will only take a minute or two.

For a hearty meal, serve Pressure Cooker Beef Tips over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes and garnish with a little parsleyAnd if by some crazy chance you end up with any leftovers, stir a little heavy cream into the sauce and serve over pasta. It’s the meal that keeps on giving! And don’t forget to try our Pressure Cooker Cheddar Bacon Beer Dip too!
