Notes

Instant Pot directions:

Add the stew meat to the insert of the Instant Pot. Add in the salt, pepper, and onion. Stir to distribute the seasonings and onion.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth and ketchup. Pour over the meat.
Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. Allow the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes and then quick release the remaining pressure. Stir the meat to break up any large clumps of meat.
In a small bowl, whisk the flour and apple juice together. Turn the Instant pot onto saute. Pour the roux mixture whisking quickly to avoid lumps. Add the mushrooms, if using, and stir to combine.
Simmer on the saute setting, stirring to prevent sticking, until the stroganoff thickens. Turn off and stir in the sour cream.
