Instant Pot Beef Tips – juicy sirloin beef chunks pressure cooked in a rich delicious gravy until tender ! These melt in your mouth hearty bites are full of delicious flavor!
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!
How to Make Beef Tips in Instant Pot
Step 1. Season
Start by seasoning the sirloin beef tips with garlic salt and black pepper, then lightly coat them in flour (I just use a paper plate for easy cleanup).
Set the Instant Pot to the sauté function and let it get hot. Add a little olive oil, then work in batches to brown the beef tips—don’t overcrowd the pot! Once they’re nicely seared, remove them to a plate.
Step 2. Sear the Beef
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. Sauté the Onions
Toss the diced onions into the pot and sauté them for about a minute.
Step 4. Deglaze
Then pour in the red wine and beef broth, making sure to scrape up all those browned bits from the bottom of the pot—this adds major flavor to the gravy!
Step 5. Add Beep Tips Back to Instant Pot
Return the beef tips and any juices back to the Instant Pot. Give everything a good stir, then spoon the cream of mushroom soup on top (do not mix in the soup).
I know this looks like a great big mess now, but just wait for the deliciousness!
Step 6. Presure Cook
Close the lid, make sure the pressure valve is sealed, and set it to Manual (High Pressure) for 25 minutes.
Step 7. Natural Release & Serve
Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
Open the lid, give it all a stir, and serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Enjoy every comforting, gravy-soaked bite!
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!
How to serve this Beef Tips and Gravy Instant Pot Recipe
This Beef Tips and Gravy is pure comfort food and pairs perfectly with classic, hearty sides. Here are some of my favorite ways to serve it:
- Over Mashed Potatoes – The rich, velvety gravy is perfect for spooning over creamy mashed potatoes.
- With Egg Noodles – For a homestyle feel, serve the beef tips over buttery egg noodles.
- On Rice – A great option for soaking up all that savory sauce.
- With Biscuits or Soft Dinner Rolls – Perfect for sopping up every last drop of that delicious gravy.
- Alongside Vegetables – Roasted broccoli, green beans, or squash casserole make a great balanced meal.
Storing Instant Pot Steak Bites
Make-Ahead: You can season and flour the beef tips ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. This makes it even easier to toss everything into the Instant Pot when you’re ready to cook.
Storage: Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. The flavors deepen over time, making it even better the next day! Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of beef broth if needed to loosen the gravy.
Freezing: This dish freezes beautifully! Let the beef tips cool completely, then store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. The gravy may thicken when frozen, so stir in a little extra broth while reheating if needed.

PLEASE PIN – INSTANT POT BEEF TIPS – AND SAVE FOR LATER
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 kept having the same kind of issues. Did you ever find a fix? We use a Cuisinart instead of an Instapot and it just won’t pressurize with this recipe and we’ve tried twice. It was a great meal though and very tasty.
Stacy, I am sorry I have not used the Cuisinart brand. Check the amount of liquid your brand calls for and be sure there is enough in the recipe.
I also had issues. My IP wouldn’t seal because it was burned on the bottom, even though I used exact amounts and deglazed as instructed. I will absolutely make this again, however, I will skip the flour and just use corn starch when done cooking. Thank you for an easy and amazing recipe!
Thank you so much Beth! Using cornstarch will definitely work as well!
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.
