Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons Cooking Oil For sautéing, adding a rich base to the dish.
  • 3 pounds Chuck Roast Cut into slightly larger than bite-sized cubes.
  • 2 cups Water To create the perfect cooking liquid.
  • 1 cup Beef Broth (low sodium) For added depth of flavor without overwhelming saltiness.
  • 2 packets Beefy Onion Soup Mix Infuses savory, aromatic notes.
  • 2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup Adds creamy texture and binds flavors.
  • 12 ounces Wide Egg Noodles Perfect for soaking up the sauce.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream (optional) For a touch of creaminess at the end.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Turn the Instant Pot on to the Sauté setting. Once hot, add the cooking oil.
  2. Add the beef cubes in one layer and brown them lightly on both sides.
Deglazing
  1. With all browned beef back in the pot, add water and beef broth. Stir and scrape up any brown bits to deglaze the pot.
Adding Soup Mix and Cream
  1. Sprinkle the beefy onion soup mix and stir well.
  2. Spoon the cream of mushroom soup on top of the beef without stirring.
Cooking
  1. Seal the pot, cancel Sauté function, and set to Pressure Cook/Manual for 25 minutes.
Releasing Pressure
  1. After cooking, let it naturally release for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release.
Cooking Noodles
  1. Stir the beef mixture, switch to low sauté and add egg noodles.
  2. Cover with a glass lid and cook until tender, about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Final Touches
  1. Turn off the pot and stir in sour cream or serve dolloped on top.

Notes

Consider adding Worcestershire sauce for depth or sautéing onions and garlic for a robust flavor. Add carrots or peas for added nutrition.
