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!

Beef Tips Instant Pot Ingredients

  • Sirloin Beef Tips: A great cut for pressure cooking—stays juicy and tender.
  • Olive Oil: Helps with browning and adds flavor.
  • Flour: Lightly coats the beef tips to help thicken the gravy.
  • Garlic Salt & Black Pepper: Seasonings that bring out the beef’s best flavors.
  • Onions: Adds a subtle sweetness and depth to the dish.
  • Beef Broth: The base of the rich, savory gravy.
  • Red Wine: Enhances the sauce with a deeper, more complex flavor.
  • Cream of Mushroom Soup: The secret to making the sauce ultra-creamy.

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 VegetablesRoasted 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.

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!

Ingredients 

  • 2 pounds sirloin beef tips
  • 2 to 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • ½ tbsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup onions, diced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ½ cup red wine, (sub more beef broth if you prefer not to use wine)
  • 1 10.5 ounce can cream of mushroom soup

Instructions

  • Season sirloin beef tips with garlic salt, pepper and dust or coat with flour (I do this on a paper plate).
    2 pounds sirloin beef tips, 1/2 tbsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 3 tbsp flour
  • 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.
    2 to 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Add in the onion and saute about 1 minute.
    1/4 cup onions
  • Then add in the wine and beef broth (At this point scrape off any brown bits or flour off the bottom of the pan).  
    1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup red wine
  • Then add the Beef Tips and juices back into the Instant Pot. Give it a stir. Next add the cream of mushroom on top.  
    1 10.5 ounce can cream of mushroom soup
  • 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 to pressure.
  • Once done let pressure naturally release for 20 minutes. You can then manually release by opening the valve to let remaining pressure release.

Notes

If gravy is not as thick as you like, in a bowl or measuring cup, whisk 1/4 cup water with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until well mixed. Pour into Instant Pot and stir. Set to warm or saute and let cook a few minutes until thickened.
*Make sure to deglaze the bottom of the pan by scraping those brown bits or anything stuck to the bottom when you add the wine and beef broth. This will prevent it from burning the bottom. And get all that flavor into the broth.
SLOW COOKER RECIPE:  This recipe can also be made in a slow cooker. Complete browning in a skillet, pour into the slow cooker, and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

    I thought it was delicious and so did my husband. Used stew meat and it came out quite tender when cooked using the “meat/stew” setting on the IP. Definitely a keeper!

    Made this tonight for the family. I had stew meat that I didn’t feel like making into a stew. Cooked this up and it was a hit! I used GF flour and GF fettuccini noodles for my husband. I threw in some frozen peas at the end to add color and our veggie! This will be a keeper!

  3. Why is flour listed in the ingredients? As a newbie there were some missing steps between cooking the meat and making gravy

    1. Flour is used and listed in the first step to dust the tips before searing or sautéing them. As for the gravy, it creates a gravy as it cooks. If you would like it thicker I include notes to do that with a cornstarch slurry. Hope this helps- please feel free to reach out if you have further questions.

  4. 5 stars
    This was so easy to put together and tasted great. I used low fat Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup. I did thicken the gravy a little with cornstarch. It’s perfect for a busy weeknight or weekend but you have to allow time for the Instant pot to heat up and the natural release at the end as the recipe states. Very good.
