Simple Beef Tips and Noodles

Step 1
Heat oil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat and stir in beef cubes. Cook until browned on all sides; remove beef cubes and set aside. Drain and discard excess grease.

Step 2
Lower heat to medium and add onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and mushrooms and continue to cook until garlic is fragrant but not brown, about 5 more minutes.

Step 3
Pour in beef stock, beef cubes, and any accumulated drippings; season with salt and pepper. Return to high heat, seal the lid, and bring to full pressure.

Step 4
Reduce heat to low, maintaining full pressure, and cook for 20 minutes.

Step 5
While stew is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir in noodles; cook, stirring often, until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 6
Remove the pressure cooker from heat and allow pressure to drop naturally. Dissolve cornstarch into 1/2 cup cold water. When pressure has dropped, remove the lid and whisk in cornstarch mixture.

Step 7
Bring beef and mushrooms back to a boil; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour beef over noodles and serve.
