For some reason, Jason forwarded me a recipe for Instant Pot beef stroganoff last week. This seemed like an odd choice from him, but what the heck. I bit the bullet on two pounds of chuck and got to work. My main take-away is that if I was hoping that this would be quick: ha! The mushrooms were cooked separately, as were the noodles, and the suggestion to sear the beef in batches in the IP was folly, as they just steamed down there. So I had to pull out another pan to sear the meat. By this time, the kitchen was getting pretty hot and messy. Plus the actual cooking took over a half hour. The good news? Carter really liked it. It was pretty good, but honestly not much better than the cheapo version my Mom used to make with ground beef. I was too lazy to make anything interesting, vegetable-wise, so I just threw in some frozen peas. Jason wondered if it could have been made with tofu, since (as I knew) he doesn't actually like steak. Doofus.
