Pressure Cooker Hamburger Stroganoff

Serves 4 in about 22 minutes. A pressure cooker recipe built around ground beef and sour cream.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 lb lean ground beef (or ground turkey, 93% lean)
• ½ teaspoon thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
• 1 ½ tablespoons worcestershire sauce
• 10 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 teaspoons beef bouillon i use better than bouillon
• 8 oz wide egg noodles
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1 cup sour cream (plus extra for garnish)
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Method

1. Turn on Sauté setting. When pot is hot, add the oil, butter, and onion. Cook, while stirring now and then, until just starting to turn translucent.
2. Tip in the ground beef and stir, breaking up the meat, but leaving a few larger chunks. Cook, while stirring now and then, until just a little pink remains.
3. Tip in the thyme, salt, pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix and cook for 1 instant.
4. Tip in the mushrooms and mix well. Simmer for another instant.
5. Tip in the broth and beef bouillon in while stirring, and scraping the bottom of the pot to get up any brown bits (deglaze).
6. Tip in the egg noodles and press them gently into the mixture to submerge them as much as possible.
7. Cancel the Sauté function. Then press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, and the +/- to select 4 minutes (5 minutes for softer noodles).
8. After the cook cycle has finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 2 minutes. Then do a controlled Quick Release* of the remaining pressure/steam.
9. When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid. Then turn on the sauté setting.
10. Stir together the flour and water. Stir in to the pot and stir well to combine. Turn off the pot.
11. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with a little of the hot sauce from the pot. Then add a little more. This tempers the sour cream so it doesn't curdle when added to the hot stroganoff.
12. Tip in the sour cream and parsley to the pot. Mix gently to incorporate the ingredients. Taste and adjust salt, if needed.
13. Plate immediately, garnishing as desired.
