Savory Beef Tips in Red Wine Sauce Instant Pot Recipe

Savory beef tips use to take hours to cook, until the Instant pot or electric pressure cookers. Now this savory dish cooks up tender and tasty in no time! This recipe is perfect when you want a homecooked meal that is comforting and tasty but you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.

The Meat

I like to use top sirloin for this dish because most of the fat has been trimmed away. Since this cooks in an Instant pot or pressure cooker you can go with a cheaper cut of meat and it will still be tender.

The Mushrooms

I usually use button mushrooms in this dish and will frequently decrease the amount of meat and increase the amount of mushrooms. Since the sauce is so rich and flavourful the mushrooms will take on a lot of the sauce's flavor making more expensive mushrooms unnecessary.

Instructions
