The Best instant pot beef tips recipe

I love making beef tips in my Instant Pot. It is one of those meals that comes together fast but tastes like it simmered all day. My family gets excited when they see me pull out the chuck roast because they know tender beef tips are coming. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights when you want a hearty dinner without spending hours in the kitchen. The beef comes out so tender and the gravy is rich and savory. Plus it is a great way to get protein and iron into your kids meals. I serve it over egg noodles or mashed potatoes and everyone cleans their plate.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Instant Pot Beef Tips

1. Can I use frozen beef for this recipe?

Yes you can use frozen beef tips. Just add a few extra minutes to the pressure cooking time. I recommend cooking for 35 minutes instead of 30. Make sure the beef is separated so it cooks evenly.

2. How do I make the gravy thicker?

The cornstarch slurry at the end helps thicken the gravy. If you want it even thicker, mix 1 more tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and stir it in. Let it simmer for a minute to reach your desired consistency.

3. Can I make this recipe without an Instant Pot?

Yes you can make beef tips in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. For a slow cooker, brown the beef first then cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. For stovetop, simmer the beef for about 1.5 to 2 hours until tender.

4. What sides go well with beef tips?

Beef tips are great over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. I also like serving them with a side of green beans or a simple salad. The gravy is perfect for soaking into whatever you serve them with.

5. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover beef tips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm them in a pot on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave. You may need to add a splash of broth to thin the gravy.
