Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 1/2 lbs stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes (or chuck roast)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Canola oil
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp Hungarian sweet paprika
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 quart beef broth or stock
- 2 large onions, cut into wedges
- 2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut in 2-inch cubes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Mix 1 cup flour with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper in a large shallow bowl or casserole dish.
- Dust the beef cubes in the flour and place on 2 large baking sheets. Do not crowd the meat. Drizzle all of the meat with 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Turn on the Sauté setting on the Instant Pot and once the pot is heated, add 2 teaspoons of oil to the pot. Stir in the oregano and both paprikas with a wooden spoon until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Stir the tomato paste into the mixture and while mixing constantly with the wooden spoon, and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in 1 cup of broth and scrape up the bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the browned meat, juices and browned bits from the baking sheets,, onions, potatoes, and good pinch of salt and pepper and stir until combined. Pour the remaining broth into the pot.
- Set the pot to Pressure HIGH for 35 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 20 to 25 minutes to pressurize, during which some steam will release – this is normal.
- Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release its pressure after the goulash is finished cooking. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the goulash over wide egg noodles or rice.
