Instant Pot Beef and Noodles

Beef and noodles with chuck roast takes 15 minutes to cook! You can use thinly sliced steak or beef tips too, for a tender and delicious dinner every time. Use your Crockpot Express or make as an easy Ninja Foodi recipe.

Pressure Cooker Beef and Noodles Recipe

If you need easy Ninja Foodi recipes, you can use that or your Crockpot Express pot instead. All of them have the same basic functions. This just needs saute and high pressure which is common. For the Foodi you will use the lid that is not attached and the pressure cook button.

You can use any cut of beef you want too. I have done it with several, slices of chuck roast or made as a stew meat recipe. With any you just cut into thin strips to get it nice and tender and whisk up some yummy gravy your pasta will get drenched in and enjoy. You’ll love this, I promise you.

with Frozen Beef

If you just have meat that is frozen you can still make this. You would need to first follow the instructions in our Frozen Roast in Instant Pot post. This will make it tender, you can shred it, and then add the rest of the ingredients to make it smooth with the condensed soup and then fold together with the al dente boiled noodles.

I have created more than a hundred easy pressure cooker recipes over the years. The ones we make over and over again are those that are inexpensive, have few ingredients, and all 5 of us love.

• This one falls into that category for sure!
• If you have made Instant Pot steak in the past but want to make something new, grab one out of the fridge and instead, try this tonight.
• It’s really a quick one pot meal that’s creamy and delicious.

You may have enjoyed something similar to this growing up. It kinda’ reminds me of a type of easy pressure cooker stroganoff for sure with the sauce and all. It’s likely your Grandmother also made this when you came over and when you have a bite it will take you straight back to your childhood sitting at her table again. 😉

Tips

Like many of our other steak recipes, you’ll need to saute the meat and onions together. This will brown the outsides and create a nice texture. Adding the seasonings now will enhance the flavors too. Onions can be diced or sliced. If you want them to stay in tact more when served, I would slice them thick. I like a bit of texture with these and tend to choose yellow or white instead of any other color out there. That is up to you though since they all have a bit different flavor.

When cooking meat in an Instant Pot you always need to deglaze the pot after you’re done. This will avoid the burn notice and save your sanity. I like using a wooden spoon or spatula.

When pressure cooking any type of casserole is that you don’t want to stir in the noodles. Instead, put them on top and gently submerge them into the liquid below. Here are quick instructions but there is a printable recipe card at the bottom of this post as well.

You could call it a casserole I suppose because there is a sauce, carb and protein all together. That is kinda’ my definition of a one pot meal you just throw together. Often times I will use leftovers to make this as a second or third meal so I don’t waste food.

Variations

Onions are a great add ins of course but are optional. Early on I didn’t use them because my kids frowned on them but over time they don’t mind and I’d rather include them in just about everything I make…..

with stew meat

If you wanted to make this with the cheaper cuts already diced into cubes you can. Just slice in half is what I do so they are smaller, bite sized and can tenderize easily and soak in the sauce flavors.

with leftover beef

If you have Mississippi Pot Roast from the other night, take it out of the fridge and dice it up fine. You can use this and it will be even faster since you can skip the whole saute step. Just dump in and follow directions from then on.

If you needed this to be dairy free beef and noodles you could do this. I have done it for my husband where I have found lactose free sour cream and you can make your own condensed soup with almond milk instead. If you wanted this looser you could add a bit more broth and sour cream at the end. Adjust to how much liquid you want it to have, both are great.

Something to remember: Do not allow to natural release as the noodles will get too soft.The longer this sits and cools the thicker the sauce will become. This means it is incredible the next day for lunch or dinnertime! Super quick and easy right?? With a super quick cook time you can get fork tender beef too your family will love.

How to save leftovers

The key is to use a bag or container where you can suck the air out. That way it will maintain it’s moisture for a few days so you can enjoy it later. Just reheat in a microwave safe dish for about 1 minute or so. Since the noodles are already cooked I wouldn’t wait longer than 2 days to enjoy this. Those will continue to get softer and may fall apart beyond that time.
