The Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker has fast become one of my most favorite kitchen appliances. As I keep trying out new recipes, I fall more and more in love with this thing.
Anytime I need a quick meal, I put on my thinking cap and get to recipe testing. Just like with these beef tips! Normally, I cook these in the slow cooker all day to get nice tender sirloin beef tips.
Making it this way this meal is ready in under an hour and is just as tender (if not more). It’s such a great way to get a meal on the table for the family fast. This is why I love it friends!
If you do not have an Instant Pot add it to you list for Santa! If he needs some help ordering for I have a added a link HERE ;). You can always put these in the Crock Pot on low for 8 hours or high for 4 and get great results too!
I love to alternate serving this with rice, mashed potatoes or possibly egg noodles to change it up a bit. So pick what your family loves and everyone stays happy!
What you need to make Instant Pot Beef Tips
- Sirloin Beef (Cut into chunks)
- Olive oil
- Onion
- Flour
- Garlic Salt
- Pepper
- Red Wine
- Beef Broth
- Cream of Mushroom Soup
Easy Steps to Making Delicious Pressure Cooked Beef Tips in the Instant Pot
Step 1. Season sirloin beef tips with garlic salt, pepper and dust or coat with flour ( I do this on a paper plate).
Step 2. Set the IP to saute feature and let it get hot. Add oil. Place in the sirloin beef tips and saute until browned. This can be done in two batches to not overcrowd the pot. Remove to plate.
Step 3. Add in the onion and saute about 1 minute.
Step 4. Then add in the wine and beef broth (At this point scrape off any brown bits or flour off the bottom of the pan). Return the Beef Tips back into the Instant Pot. Give a stir. Next add the cream of mushroom on top.
Step 5. Close the lid and make sure the pressure valve is closed. Use the Manual setting on High Pressure for 25 minutes. It will take about 10 or so minutes to come up to pressure and start cooking.
I know this looks like a great big mess now, but just wait for the deliciousness!
Step 6. Once done let it release naturally. This took about 20 minutes. This allows it to sit and get so nice and tender.
Note: If the gravy isn’t as thick as you like take about 1/4 cup of water and add in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and mix up really good. Set the pot to saute and pour in cornstarch slurry and stir. Let it heat for a few minutes and you are all set!

You will find this and lots of deliciousness over at my favorite link ups Weekend Potluck and Meal Plan Monday!
Excellent recipe – I’m finding it really hard to not eat the whole thing myself! So easy and flavorful. I think the red wine gives that special something. This will definitely be added to our house’s weekly menu.
Thank you Alicia! This brings a smile to my heart to know your family will be gathered around the table enjoying this dish!
Hello, I’m a new member here. Love your recipes. I’m an old foodie, been cooking for MANY years Lol. I love the sirloin tip roast and decided to try your recipe using my pressure cooker. It’s DELICIOUS !! I don’t hardly ever use recipes but this looked so good. Had a 2 1/2. Pound roast and it just melted in your mouth. I put carrots, potatoes, onions, fresh chopped garlic, red wine and beef broth in. (Total of about 2 cups ). Once it was done I removed the food and added 3 TBL. Spoons corn starch to make my gravy. Put the food back in. DELICIOUS, in less than an hour. !! Thank you. Nikki 😍
Patty, I am so thankful you are joining us and thrilled you loved this recipe! I look forward to seeing you around! Come over and join us on our social channels too!
Added portobello mushrooms and a bit extra liquid, otherwise to recipe. I used the flour in a ziplock trick, nice. My wife is being so nice to me. She asked me to re-marry her. I would say it’s a success. Flavorful, what the IP was designed for. Thank you!!
That is the best compliment you could get! A marriage proposal the second time around – lol! I love it and you are so welcome!
I made this today, served it over mashed potatoes with a side of brussels sprouts it was just fabulous! I used a few small hacks I picked up over the years that I wanted to mention. I put flour,salt and pepper in a large zip-loc bag and tossed the tips into the bag and makes a neat coating method. In addition to the onions I tossed in a couple teaspoons minced garlic and a small diced bell pepper and deglazed the pot. I put in the rest of the ingredients as well as a couple Tbs of Kitchen Bouquet. The tips came out fall-apart tender and flavor was out of this world! Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
Thank you so much Mike! I love your tips! Tossing them in a bag is a great way to coat them. I guess the way I do it is more of a habit in the way I grew up (sometimes they are hard to break – lol). But a bag does make for much easier clean up! Love that. Mom always used Kitchen Bouquet and it adds a great depth of color to the gravy! So glad you enjoyed them and added your touches! Glad you have joined us!
So delicious! We’ve been craving fall comfort food and this was perfect! I did add some extra fresh garlic to sauté with the onion, and added sliced mushrooms and we both loved it and immediately packed leftovers for lunch! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Dawn! I love your additions. My family won’t eat mushrooms (I know gasp)! They are just so boring lol!
I keep getting a burn notice even after I took everything out and completely cleaned the pot. It happened three times 🙁 I eventually gave up a stuck it in the oven.
Any other tips to prevent?
Sarah, sorry you had that issue. Make sure your pan is clean and no bits are stuck, and get inner pot hot before before browning the tips. THen deglaze and scrap bottom before cooking. Other than that I am not sure why that is happening.
I believe the burn warning occurs when the liquid evaporates. My pot says to use minimum 2 cups liquid. Adding more broth wine and or water should fix it.
I have food intolerances (gluten and dairy). So I’m always looking for recipes I can adapt to my needs. This recipe converted easily and was absolutely delicious! I used a gluten free flour. For a cream of mushroom soup substitute I used canned Thai Kitchen low-fat coconut milk and some chopped mushrooms I had sautéed in vegan butter. My husband couldn’t tell the difference. (The low-fat coconut milk works as a coffee creamer, too, and it’s now what I use to make mashed potatoes.)
I love the changes you made to accommodate your dietary needs. Thank you for sharing with us, I know many readers may face the same!
Absolutely fabulous!!! The entire family loved it. My eldest son doesn’t like mushrooms so I used the 1/2 mushroom, 1/2 cream of chicken soup can. It was perfect! Thank you.
Thank you so much Joni! I have a son like that. He eats it and loves it, I just don’t tell him lol! I am so glad your family enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for this recipe. I’ve been looking for Instant Pot recipes and haven’t found too many I’d try again. This was a keeper and I’ve sent a link to my married daughters too. I did add some fresh rosemary and thyme which added some nice flavor.
Thank you so much I appreciate it! I am thrilled you adding some of your favorite herbs to make it your own and are sharing them with your daughter! My daughter loves to cook as well and is always calling me for tips! I plan to add more IP recipes soon!
This was good enough to add to my regular IP dish rotation! My meat stuck a little bit during searing, not sure if I didn’t have my pot hot enough or what. It was still delish after deglazing!
Getting the IP Hot is the key to it not sticking. I actually made this last night and the meat didn’t stick. You do get flour bits on the bottom, but those get nice and caramelized and with the deglazing give the dish so much flavor. I am so glad to hear you have added it to your meal rotation and enjoyed it Jim! Thanks so much for stopping in to share with us!
Can I make this without the mushrooms??
Yes you can leave off the cream of mushroom if you would like. It does add some flavor and thickening. You could add a cream of chicken.
Thinking about making this tonight. Can I add sliced mushrooms into this recipe too? If so, should I add them in at the same time as the cooked beef? Thank you!
Yes you can add them in at the same time! It will be delicious with mushrooms!
I dont have cream of mushroom soup (hubby hates mushrooms). Can I substitute with anything?
You can omit or I have used a cream of chicken in a pinch when I didn’t have it and it turned out delicious.
I’m so glad I tried these! They were so good and savory and easy! My family was raving!
I’m totally in love with this recipe. I love Instant Pot recipes when it’s hot outside so I don’t have to heat up my house using the stove. I can’t wait to try this recipe!
I love that about it too! My kitchen is under construction right now and it is a lifesaver with no oven or stovetop. I hope you enjoy it!
Delicious! The beef was so tender, we loved this recipe!
Can you use cooking wine or do you recommend a different type of red wine?
I usually don’t use cooking wine and just use whatever I have, but any red will work. I like a cab, merlot or even burgundy for beef.
Super tender and so easy to make in an Instant Pot. Leftovers (if you’re lucky to have any) tastes even better the next day. Perfect for for a pack and go lunch idea.
I often wonder what I did before the IP! I love how easy and tender it makes this dish!
These tips on making beef tips on my IP were spot on. We enjoyed this recipe so much!!
Thank you! The IP does it’s magic on these sirloin tips!
Pathetically, I purchased an Instant Pot about 6 months ago and still haven’t used it! But I really need to just get it out of the box and try it! I have a feeling this recipe will be a big hit.
I waited forever to buy one and when I finally used it I thought where have you been all my life! Take that thing out of the box my friend! You will be so glad you did!
Michelle, I did the same thing! Mine sat around in the box and I was scated to try it for weeks! One night, out of desperation due to a missing can of black beans I pulled it out, called my sister for help, and had cooked beans from dry in under 30 minutes! Now I own 2! I hope you’ve gotten yours out and used it and I hope you love it!
You definitely just made my dinner menu planning easier with this recipe! Such great flavors going on with this beef
That makes my day! I’m so thrilled you enjoy these!
I am new to Instantpot I got the Auora pro. Which does. It have the pressure cooker option. Can I still make this?
Yes you can. I have never used an Auora Pro, but just make any adjustments recommended by the manufacturer, if needed and you should be good to go!
When I visit the in-laws I always cook something and bring it over to their house. This is perfect for one of those occasions. I love the recipe!
Thanks you so much Debi. That is such a sweet and thoughtful thing to do! I am sure your in laws love to see you coming!
I never knew you should let it release naturally to get the meat even more tender! What a raving success this recipe was…. super tender and the sauce? SO SO GOOD!
Thank you Michelle! I don’t know how I survived so many years without an IP! It’s a game changer!
Thank you for this absolutely magnificent recipe that my 20 and 23 year old sons enjoy!! It is beefy love served with a delicious gravy! Thank you Soulfully Made!
Thank you Stefanie! You family’s enjoyment is the best compliment! You are very welcome!
Yum! So good ❤️
Thank you so much Julie!
Recipe sounds great and easy. I am not sure if I should stir the soup in or just leave it on top.
I have done it both ways, but I usually just dump it on top and let it cook.
How long in the pressure cooker for a 4 pound roast?
If you are cooking a whole 4 pound roast I would cook it from 60 to 80 minutes. I would try 70 minutes. Let it natural release for at least 10 minutes or until it naturally releases.
Hi. If I doubled the ingredients, do I double the cooking time from 25 mins to 50 mins??
I have not tested doubling the recipe, but you should not need to double the cook time.
Can the mushroom soup be omitted?
Yes absolutely. I might through in a bullion cube or two for some added flavor.
What size cream of mushroom soup
10.5 ounce can
How could I make this dairy free? Would the golden mushroom soup work as well as the creamy one??
I think that would be a great substitute. I would love to hear how it goes!
Honestly one of the best meals I have ever put together. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Martin! I am so glad you enjoyed it! My family loves it as well!
I made this tonight and also got the burn notification, most likely did not get all the meat off by deglazing…if I make this again I am going to try sautéing on the stove first then transferring it to the pot.
After I got the burn notification I switched it over to a pot on the stove and simmered it until the noodles in a separate pot were done. Was just ok.
Yes, that is why it’s so important to get those yummy bits all off the bottom. And it gets those flavor bits in the dish.
Looks great! I am going to make this for a pre Christmas dinner party. There are 10 people so was going to triple the recipe. I bought an 8 or 10qt instant pot. Is that ok to use? Should I text it out on a dinner party or try a safer route! Advise appreciated!! 😊
Brenda, I have not tested this in an 8 or 10 qt instant pot, so I would hate to say for certain. I typically don’t test a new recipe on company. However, I have made this recipe several times and it has always been delicious!
How can I do it without the cream of mushroom soup?
What is the reason you are wanting to not use it? If you don’t like mushrooms, I have two in my house that hate mushrooms and I still use it. You could also use a cream of chicken. If you just are opposed to cream soups then omit it completely. It does add a nice flavor to the disht
I do like cream of mishrooms it is just that I do not have any home right now and don’t want to go to the store 🙂
Ok, I totally get that!!! I was not sure how to direct you because some people are opposed to using cream soups. I hope you enjoyed it!
What if I use chicken broth along with the mushroom soup instead of beef broth? Think that will work?
I haven’t tried it with chicken broth, but it will work as well. It may change the beef flavor a bit, but I am sure it will still be delicious.
Is this real like cooking Red Wine or Red Wine vinegar? Making tonight and wanted to check!
It is red wine, not vinegar! I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks I went with my gut and did the red wine, in the pot now
TIP:
I use a stainless steel chainmail scrubber to deglaze my pot once I add the liquids. It works great! No burn notice at all. Be sure to remove the scrubber before you add the beef back in! 🙂
Great tip!
Do you know how I can adjust this recipe for an instapot mini? Thanks
Honestly, I am not quite sure. I have not used the 3 quart one to see how it fits. As long as there is some room for it to come to pressure it should work. If you want to give it a try by cutting the recipe in half, you can see if there would be room for the full recipe.
So delicious! Hands down the best dinner I’ve ever cooked. Served with mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli. Yum!
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it so much! Makes me truly joyful when that happens <3
Can I cook potatoes in a insert pot with the beef tips?
Absolutely!
This is delicious! I served it with roasted potatoes and carrots.
Thank you so much Kelley! I am so glad that you enjoyed it! Thank makes my day to hear when others enjoy my recipes!
My first dinner in my new IP. My meat was mouth watering. Extremely tender. This recipe was a hit in my family!! The only thing I did differently was I used a little over 2 pounds of beef. Since I used more beef I put in a cup and 3/4 of beef broth instead of 1 and 1/2 cups. I didn’t have the wine on hand. The only thing I was unsure about was the “slow release”. I tried to let the IP come down to temperature but after 20 minutes I gave up and did quick release. Awesome recipe!!
These look so rich and succulent! Gorgeous dish Nikki.
Thank you Karen! It’s a family fav!
Great comfort food! Perfect for those cold nights.
Yes! Love comfort food.
I have a new insta-pot and am collecting recipes for it, this will most definitely be added to that list!
I was so late to the Instant Pot game, now I cannot live without it!
We loved this recipe!! It was so amazing! I did add some quartered mushrooms to the recipe and it was the perfect addition.
One thing I did notice that it went to “burn” when it preheated. It happened for my parents and my friend too.
Did anyone else have this problem?
I am so glad you love it! It’s possible all of the flour or brown bits didn’t come up off the bottom when you mixed in the liquid. Just make sure to scrape those off and that shouldn’t happen. I have added an extra note on the recipe to address it. Thanks so much for stopping by! Nikki
Yes I did also so needless to say I wasn’t able to pressure cook it until the meat was nice and tender. The flavor was delicious; will give it another try.
We had that issue too, even with scraping, I restarted it though and it turned out fine.
These IP’s can be temperamental sometimes lol! But this one is a family favorite! I haven’t had mine go to burn yet, but I know it is a common issue people have.
I have found, you need to let pot get hot, before adding the oil. That is why some are getting the burn notice.
This was so good and simple to make! This is definitely a keeper.
Thank you! This recipe is so good. My husband loves it!
Thank you Kim! You have made my day! <3
Would cream of chicken soup or one of the jars of gravy stuff work instead of cream of mushroom? My husband is allergic to mushrooms but this looks so delicious!!
I am sure you could use either. I have made roasts with cream of chicken and it turned out delicious!
This looks really good. I was wondering at what elevation you are at. I live at 7600 feet so need to know how to adjust timing in relation to where you are.
Thanks!
I am in Florida about 500 ft, so I am at near sea level. Great question. I believe you will need to adjust about 25%.
Have a wonderful week!
Nikki
This was delicious and so easy. My pickiest eater loved it too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Sherie! I love easy meals! This one is a family favorite at my house! Have a wonderful weekend!
These beef tips are amazing! It is a good thing they don’t take too long to cook in the instant pot because the smell makes your mouth water! Can’t wait to try some of the other instant pot recipes here!
Thank you so much Laura! You have made my day!! I am going to be working on some new instant pot recipes soon! I have loved all the ones I have made so far.
I have to get an instapot! There are so many delicious looking recipes including this one!
Yes you do! I love mine! This one is a go to and so easy!
I tried this recipe but but a “burn”. Message as it was heating up. What did I do wrong?
I am unsure what happened. I have never had mine burn and I make this often. I am so sorry that happened. Most of the time it’s not enough liquid but the amount I add is usually plenty!
I know what happened because after I browned the meat I put the lid on the instant pot and just left it on saute. After a few minutes it said “HOT”. I then realized that I needed to set it to MANUAL and set the time.
Uh oh! That would do it! So sorry! Now you have a story to tell!
You probably had a layer of flour cooked on the bottom of the pan. After searing the meat you need to deglaze with broth to remove any bits and break up all the yummyness stuck to the bottom.
Yum! This looks amazing!
Thank you so much!
I”ve been working on something similar for dinner. I”ll just make your recipe! I looks so delicious and perfect for any night.
I hope you love it! It certainly is an easy one you can put together quickly and tastes so yummy!
I passed up an Instant pot at Christmas, and posts like these really make me regret that!
Well, get that on your list for Santa ?! LOL! I love mine. I still am working on new recipes!
This looks delicious. I need to make more use of my instant pot – need to start with this recipe. My husband would LOVE this!
Thank you Liz! My hubby and son love this one! I usually make something in mine at least one a week. I am working on new recipes!
I’m still learning the “Instant Pot” think and think this would be a great recipe to try with my family.
Honestly, I am too! I wished I had gotten one sooner. I keep experimenting with new recipes! This one is delish!
What a delicious looking dinner. I have been having having fun experimenting with my IP and I can;t wait to try this!
Carlee, I am still doing the same with mine. This was one of the first ones I made in it. So delish! And ready so fast! Always a win on a busy day!
hi, looking up beef tip recipes and came across this! really want to try it…but how would i adjust if the tips were frozen? Thanks!
-Terri
Terri, I have not tried doing this with frozen tips. I would go ahead and follow the instructions. Then test for tenderness and cook another 5 minutes if needed. I am still experimenting with my IP and haven’t used frozen meats. I hear it works well. You wouldn’t be able to use the flour and sear them. But the cornstarch at the end should still thicken for a gravy.
Please let me know how it works out!
Nikki
This turned out great, and was easy and quick in the pressure cooker! Thanks! I might add green peppers to it next time. Thanks for a great easy recipe for someone that doesn’t cook, so anything that turns out YUMMY is awesome!!
Thank you Stephanie! It is a very easy one to make and always turns out delcious! I am so glad you enjoyed it and stopped in to let me know! – Nikki
Can Inn Maid noodles be added to this or do I need to change up the recipe a bit?
You can use any thing you like to go with it. I haven’t tried cooking the noodles with the beef, it probably would need to be added later. Noodles just take about 4 minutes to cook! Let me know if you try it!
I make frozen chicken breasts, egg noodles five cups water, and all the trimmings to make chicken and noodles.
Amazing, but it all comes out perfectly.
So I received an Instant Pot for. Christmas but just got brave enough to try it out. The beef tips were the first recipe I tried. I thought about it after I locked the lid that maybe it wasnt a great idea due to the cost of the meat but…I can’t thank you enough. My family absolutely loved this dish. My son said it is his new favorite. This is a must try and added to the regular rotation.
Thank you so much Dawn! That just makes my day! The cost of food still shocks me each time I go to the grocery store. I love to stock up at Sams and refreeze in smaller portions. Also Publix here has BOGO chuck roasts from time to time. I will cut those up as well for this dish when I get those great buys! My son loves this one as well and its really easy to make and such a treat. In fact I am making it again tonight for our family meal. Many Blessings, Nikki
Hi Nikki,
Just made the Beef Tips for dinner. They were delicious! They didn’t quite look like yours but that didn’t matter. My husband told me that I could make that every night & he would lick the plate every night! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Trish
Trish,
I am so glad you and your hubby enjoyed them. That licking the plate is the best compliment you can give a cook! I find every time I cook something it looks different.I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you come back soon and chat with me! I love hearing from Soulfully Made friends!
Gratefully,
Nikki
Yes! Plate-lickin’ good. Made this last night and it was EASY and so delicious. Thank you, Nikki!
Marisa you have made my entire weekend! Now that is the best compliment ever! I am thrilled you enjoyed it. I have been in a mess at my house with some remodeling due to a little A/C flood, so I have been cooking in my Instant Pot a lot lately and am adding new recipes all the time. Hope you come check them out.
What is an instant pot?
It is a brand of an electric pressure cooker. Any brand of pressure cooker will work. You can find links in the blog post to one on instant pot if you would like to take peek! You can also make this in a slow cooker or on the stove top, if you do not have one. Slow cooker on low for 8 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours. Thank you so much for coming by! I hope you come back again!
Is this condensed cream of mushroom soup? If it isn’t can I use condensed and add water like the can says?
Yes condensed cream of mushroom soup! Any brand will do! I hope you enjoy Georgeanna! I am so glad you stopped by! Come on back and let me know what you think!
Gratefully,
Nikki
What can be used as a substitute for the cream of mushroom soup? My husband hates mushrooms. Also, is there a way to cook either white rice or egg noodles in the instant pot with the beef?
I have replaced cream of mushroom with cream of chicken in many dishes and it is delicious! However, my husband hates mushrooms too and he still loves this recipe. I have not tried cooking them together in the instant pot at the same time. It takes far less time for the pasta or rice in the Instant Pot.
What do you suggest as a substitute for wine?
I got an instant pot at a garage sale recently, and I’m anxious to use. It’s been years since I had pressure cooker.
Thanks for your help.
I would just add beef stock or broth to substitute. I know you will love your Instant Pot! Come back and let me know how it goes!
