When you have a few pounds of beef tips, what do you typically lean towards? Beef tips with gravy? So do I! They’re tender, flavorful, and ridiculously easy. However, today I felt it necessary to exercise some creativity with that bag of beef tips.

While along the same wavelength of beef tips and gravy, this recipe takes it to the next level. Inspired by Beef Bourguignon, I wanted to offer up this classic made famous by Julia Child, but have it much easier to make. No braising and hours of waiting required today! Using your Instant Pot, you’ll be rewarded with tender meat and an ultra flavorful red wine gravy.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil – Avocado, canola, vegetable, sunflower, safflower, or grapeseed oils will all work too.
  • Beef – Tips or stewing beef.
  • Salt & pepper – Season to taste.
  • Butter – I prefer to use unsalted to have better control over the sodium.
  • Mushrooms – I used cremini. Use any type you like!
  • Onion – White or yellow.
  • Garlic – Use as much or little as you like.
  • Tomato paste – Make sure you have paste rather than sauce or crushed. Tomato paste is very thick and has a strong tomato flavor.
  • Red wine – Since we’re using a whole bottle, I don’t suggest eliminating the wine. You can use an alcohol-free red wine if needed.
  • Beef broth – Chicken or veggie broth can be used if that’s all you have.
  • Bay leaves – Fresh or dried.
  • Thyme – Fresh is best.
  • Cornstarch – This is to create a slurry to thicken your stew.
  • Water
  • Parsley – Freshly chopped for garnish.

What type of beef should I use?

‘Beef tip’ recipes rose in popularity because they allowed butchers to use up and sell the bits of beef they’d usually throw out. Not just that, but they were also able to sell them for a really cheap price. That being said, you have tons of options for what types of beef you can use for this recipe! Chuck roasts, round roasts, rump roast, sirloin, tenderloin, or rib cuts.

You can grab cubes of stewing beef from the grocery store or you can go ask you local butcher for some beef tips. If you often trim up roasts, you can also save those and freeze them. Once you have a couple pounds of meat accumulated, use them up in this recipe!

What type of red wine is best for cooking?

When you’re cooking with red wine, it’s best to choose a dry variety with plenty of tanins. Of course, Burgundy wine would be ideal for beef burgundy, but Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfendel and Shiraz are all great options as well. Cook with wines that you would drink, especially in a recipe like this which requires a whole bottle.

In terms of making this recipe alcohol-free, I suggest finding an alcohol-free red wine. It’s very important for the flavor profile of the recipe to include wine, so I wouldn’t be able to offer a comparable substitute.

How to make beef burgundy in the Instant Pot

  1. Sear beef: Heat the olive oil in your Instant Pot on the sauté setting. Season the cubed beef generously with salt and pepper. Sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides, then remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
  2. Sauté veg: Melt the butter in the pot then add the mushrooms and onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and the mushrooms begin to brown. Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds, then mix in the tomato paste. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pressure cook: Add the wine, broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Stir everything together well. Add the beef back to the pot. Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and turn the valve from VENT to SEAL. Cook for 25 minutes on high pressure, then let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before quick releasing the remaining pressure.
  4. Thicken: Turn the sauté setting on and bring the mixture to a bubble. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes to reduce slightly. Whisk the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry, then add the slurry to your Instant Pot. Mix well and allow the sauce to thicken. You can add more slurry if you’d like the sauce thicker.
  5. Finish: Taste for salt and pepper and season as needed. Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes or noodles.

How to make beef burgundy in a slow cooker

  1. Sear beef: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the cubed beef generously with salt and pepper. Sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides, then remove the beef from the skilet and set aside.
  2. Sauté veg: Melt the butter in the skillet then add the mushrooms and onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and the mushrooms begin to brown. Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds, then mix in the tomato paste. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Cook: Add the onion/mushroom mixture, beef cubes, wine, broth, bay leaves, and thyme to your slow cooker. Stir everything together well. Secure the lid of your slow cooker. Cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high, until the beef is tender.
  4. Thicken: Whisk the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry, then add the slurry to your slow cooker. Mix the slurry into the stew well and turn the slow cooker onto high. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until thickened.
  5. Finish: Taste for salt and pepper and season as needed. Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes or noodles.

How to store leftovers

Transfer leftover beef burgundy to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-4 days. This will reheat well either in the microwave or on the stovetop. Using a saucepan or a skillet, bring the leftovers to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until fully heated through. You may have to shred a piece of beef to make sure they’re not cold in the center. Feel free to add a splash of water or broth if the sauce is getting too thick and reduced.

Freezing

A stew like this is one of my favorite meals to freeze. Your beef burgundy will last 4-6 months frozen. Reheating will be much easier if you let the leftovers thaw overnight, but it isn’t completely necessary. Reheat using the methods described in the section above.

    We thought this recipe was okay. Mind you, my kids don’t love mushrooms, so there was some hesitancy there. I added lots more thyme. I’d suggest using a heavier, dry red wine. I used a good Cab, but maybe needed something heartier.

    I made this recipe and the whole house smelled amazing. It was soooo good and so easy. So the next time I had 3 lbs of petite sirloin, I decided to make Julia Child’s famous Boeuf Bourgeon thinking, if this instant pot version was good, JC’s fussy long ass recipe must be better. Well, it wasn’t. My husband requested this recipe over the Julia Child one.

    It is marked that there are instructions for the slow cooker but they are for the pressure cooker. Would you please provide the ones for the slow cooker? Thanks in advance!

      The slow cooker instructions are in the blog post! Since this recipe is specifically for the Instant Pot, the actual recipe card will have pressure cooker instructions.
