Instant Pot Beef Tips and Gravy

This meal has become a staple in our house- we eat it several times a month and my daughter Kaleigh requests it.  She can't get enough! Instant Pot Beef Tips and Gravy is a comfort food.  It warms you up and keeps you feeling full.  Give it a try!  I think you'll have found a new family favorite!

  • Move the beef over to half of the pot and add onions to the other half of the pot

Notes

Tips for this recipe:
1. 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.
2. Get creative and add in your favorite vegetables.  Sometimes I add in green peppers. :)
3. Try Instant Pot Beef Tips and Gravy served over noodles or mashed potatoes!  Coming soon- one pot beef tips with noodles recipe.  Stay tuned!
4. Stir continuously after you add the cornstarch mixture or you dinner will stick to the bottom of the pan.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!
