Move the beef over to half of the pot and add onions to the other half of the pot
Saute onions until tender- a little browning will add some great flavor!
Stir beef and onions together and add garlic
Add tomatoes, mushrooms, beef broth and canned gravy
Stir and close lid
Cook on high pressure with valve set to "seal" for 20 minutes
Once timer beeps, let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes
Quick release remaining pressure and then open lid and stir
Pour in uncooked white rice
Close pressure cooking lid and move valve to “seal” position. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
When timer beeps, naturally release pressure for 5 minutes and then quick release any remaining pressure.
Open lid and stir
Notes
Natural release the pressure. EVERY recipe that I have found online for beef tips says to quick release at the end. This cut of meat will be tough if you quick release.
Don't skip step number 4. It really does make a big difference. I've made this recipe having browned the meat and not. The browned meat comes out much more tender and juicy than the unbrowned meat.
Get creative and add in your favorite vegetables. Sometimes I add in green peppers. :)
You can use dry packaged gravy mix instead of the canned gravy but just be sure that you do not add more than 1 cup of water regardless of what the instructions on the packet say. If you add more water your gravy will be very liquidy!
