Step 1
Hit sauté on your Instant Pot. It automatically defaults to 5 minutes, which is perfect for this recipe.
Step 2
Add onions and oil. Sauté for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add meat and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add in salt and pepper.
Step 4
Add in carrots and bell pepper, paprika and tomato paste. Stir together.
Step 5
Add in beef broth and stir. Liquid will almost cover the meat, but not fully.
Step 6
Submerge the bay leaves
Step 7
Set the Instant Pot to high pressure/pressure cook for 25 minutes. Make sure the valve is at “sealing.”
Step 8
While that is cooking, make egg noodles according to package (or rice if you prefer).
Step 9
Now it's time to make the rue/sauce. We call this sauce, "slurry."
Step 10
For the sauce/slurry, simply place all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined. The sauce will be a thick, creamy mixture (almost like the consistency of mayonnaise). This sauce will be added at the end.
Step 11
When the timer on the Instant Pot turns off, turn it from "sealing" to "venting." This will release the steam.
Step 12
Let steam naturally release for 5 minutes. This simply means to just let it set and rest.
Step 13
Stir the slurry into the stew
Step 14
Remove the bay leaves and serve
Step 15
Enjoy!
Step 16
In a large skillet over high heat cook onion and olive oil for a few minutes (3 minutes) and add the beef and salt and pepper and cook for an additional 3 minutes, to brown the meat slightly.
Step 17
Put onions/meat into a slow cooker and add carrots, red peppers, paprika and tomato paste. Stir together. Add in the beef broth and stir. Liquid will almost cover the meat, but not fully. Add in the bay leaves. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours (I prefer low setting with this recipe).
Step 18
Before serving combine "slurry" ingredients: flour, beef broth and sour cream in a small bowl, whisking together.
Step 19
Stir the slurry into the stew before serving (the stew thickens as it sits, it's really good the next day too).
Step 20
Cook egg noodles according to package instructions.
Step 21
Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve Hungarian goulash over egg noodles (or rice).
