Ingredients

Seasoning Rub

  • 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

To Brown the Beef

  • 2 lbs Beef Sirloin Roast, cut in 2" cubes
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Gravy

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 2 lg cloves Garlic, minced
  • 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)

Instructions

Make the Seasoning Rub

  • In a gallon sized baggie, mix together the seasoning ingredients. Set aside.

Brown the Meat

  • 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.

Make the Gravy

  • 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.

Cook the Beef Tips

  • 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.

Notes

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.
