How to make Instant Pot Beef Tips and Gravy

• Sauté: First, season the meat with salt and pepper, then, heat some oil. Then, use the sauté function of the IP to brown the meat. Add the onions, too. Then, remove everything and set aside on a plate and cover.
• Add the rest: Add some broth in the pot to deglaze it. Then, add in the rest of the liquids and other seasonings along with the mushrooms.
• Cook: Set the IP to manual and cook for about 15 minutes. Once done, do a quick release. Adjust the taste if needed.
• Thicken: To thicken the sauce, add the roux. Prepare it by melting butter and whisking in flour in it. This roux will thicken the sauce of the dish.
• Serve: Once desired consistency is achieved, garnish with your favorite fresh herb and serve.
