Beef Tips And Gravy is one of my favourite cheap family meals, especially when cooked in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Beef tips that are pressure cooked in its own onion gravy and served over lump free Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes.
You can also use a real cheap cut of beef because the Instant Pot does a fantastic job of tenderising it as it cooks.

Ingredients
Instant Pot
1 Beef Tips
1 Kilo White Potatoes
1 Medium White Onion
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
250 ml Beef Stock
1 Tbsp Gravy Thickener
Salt & Pepper
Metric - Imperial
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into bite sized cubes and place them in the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup (250ml) of cold water and place the lid on the Instant Pot. Set the valve to sealing and cook for 10 minutes. Manually release pressure when it beeps, drain and put the potatoes to one side.
While the potatoes are cooking, slice up the beef tips so that they resemble classic beef stroganoff slices. Peel and thinly slice the onion.
Add the onion and beef to the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker and place it on the sauté setting. Sauté with a little olive oil for a couple of minutes or until the onions start to soften. Add 250ml of beef stock to the Instant Pot, cancel sauté and place the lid on the Instant Pot. Set the valve to sealing and cook for 6 minutes on manual pressure.
While the beef and onion are cooking mash the potatoes and place the mash into medium sized bowls ready for serving.
When the Instant Pot beeps manually release pressure. Use a gravy thickener to make a thicker gravy from the beef juices and stir for a minute or two on sauté. Once thick pour the onion and beef gravy over the mashed potatoes and serve.
Recipe Notes
The beef tips we bought was one medium slice of sirloin beef tips. We then sliced it into small pieces so that it was enough to feed the five of us. When making mash I always add lots of salt and pepper and a little skimmed milk.
But you can also add butter to it for the ultimate creamy taste. For the stock we used this one. It gives so much more flavour compared to a cheap stock cube. Though you can use either.
