Instant Pot Beef Tips
I have been asked for this recipe for beef tips in the Instant Pot for a long time. I had it in the works and now I'm sharing with you! This is a delicious, easy recipe.
Which cut of beef is best for Beef Tips?
You can use any cut of beef for beef tips – tenderloin, sirloin or even chuck roast. If you use the stew meat that is pre-cut from the grocery store, it would be good to buy a chuck roast and cut it yourself (more economical, and you can cut larger chunks).
I most often use sirloin tip roast, and cut the pieces from that, usually in 2 inch chunks. Sirloin isn't as expensive as steak tenderloin, and works well in this recipe.
The cook time is key to tender beef tips. The cartilage/fat needs time to break down and make the meat tender. So 20 to 30 minutes is ideal, depending on how large you cut the steak cubes.
The gravy that this pressure cooker beef tips recipe makes is rich and delicious. The red wine adds a lot of flavor, however you can use more beef broth if you don't want to use the wine.
This gravy is so good over mashed potatoes! You could also serve it over rice, cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower, or over biscuits.

- 3 Tablespoons Flour
- 2 teaspoons Steak Seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®)
- 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 lbs Beef Sirloin Roast, cut in 2" cubes
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 2 lg cloves Garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup Red Wine (or use beef broth)
- 1 teaspoon Beef Bouillon
- 1 (10.5) oz can Beef Consommé
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Thyme Leaves (not ground)
-
In a gallon sized baggie, mix together the seasoning ingredients. Set aside.
-
Turn on the pot's Sauté setting (high temperature).
-
Cut the roast into 2-inch cubes and put them into the baggie with the seasoning mixture. Shake the baggie to coat all of the meat with the seasoning.
-
When the pot is hot, add the oil. Then add half of the steak cubes in one layer. Brown both sides, but don't cook through, and remove to a plate. Repeat with the second half of the meat.
-
Add the butter and onion to the pot. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pot, getting up all of the browned bits.
-
Add the garlic, stir. Cook about 20 seconds, then add the red wine.
-
Add the bouillon, consommé, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme leaves. Mix well to dissolve the bouillon.
-
Cancel the Sauté setting.
-
Add the beef tips back into the pot. Close the lid and seal it.
-
Set the cook time for 25 minutes. High pressure.
-
When the cook time finishes, let the pot sit undisturbed for a 10 minute natural release.
-
Turn the steam release knob to Venting and release the remaining pressure.
-
Stir, taste the gravy and adjust salt, if necessary.
-
Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.
If the gravy is not as thick as you want, in a cup, whisk together 2 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2 Tbsp of cold water until dissolved. Turn on sauté again and when the sauce simmers, stir in the cornstarch slurry. Stir until thickened, then turn off the pot.

Made as directed and was DELICIOUS! Thank you for the detailed Instant Pot directions - I am new to the Instant Pot and it helped immensely. I added chopped carrots and sliced mushrooms to the pot for steaming and they worked very well. Really tasty served over rice.

So yummy! A hit for the whole family! Picky kids from the age of 3 to 18 loved this recipe. We will definitely have this again. Thank you

I'm planning on making this for dinner tonight. Just a quick question, is there a particular red wine you would recommend? Thanks!
Sandy
Any red wine you enjoy drinking. I like cabernet, merlot, and the full bodied, not too sour wines.

Wow. I’m absolutely speechless! Made this tonight and my husband has now claimed this as the favorite dish I’ve ever made. Talk about melt in your mouth meat!! I like my sauce thicker so I added corn starch at the end and put it on sauté for a few minutes. I love the recipe variations people have posted! I’m definitely trying them next time! I served with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. Such a hit!!! I like to call this “Sunday Roast leveled-up!”
