What is Beef Stroganoff?
Beef Stroganoff is a well-loved Russian dish from the mid-19th century.
According to the cookbook A Taste of Russia, the original Beef Stroganoff Recipe was invented by Stroganov (the famous Russian general)'s chef. It's known to be a derivation from a basic French mustard for seasoning beef, combined with a dollop of Russian sour cream.
Beef Stroganoff is essentially tender beef cubes or strips prepared with a sour cream sauce, served over rice or noodles.
The love for this Russian dish was first spread to China, then later brought to the US in the 1950s, while gaining popularity in Hong Kong in the late fifties.
It has now traveled around the world from UK, Australia, Sweden, Brazil, to Japan with multiple variations.

Cooking Tips for Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff
1. Why are we browning the chuck steak as a whole before cutting it up?
- Retain More Moisture: Browning the chuck steak as a whole retains more moisture due to less surface area.
- Brown Faster & Better:Since maillard reaction excels in dry and high heat environment, the chuck steak will brown faster and better when compared to cubed stew.
- Richer & Flavorful: The caramelized flavors from browning results in a richer & more flavorful dish.
2. Can I use other beef cuts for this recipe?
- Chuck roast is one of the most suitable cuts for pressure cooking. For optimal result, choose one that is well marbled!!
