Oh that sounds so delicious Kevin! And very smart idea, using the sauté setting to reduce the sauce. Thank you for that idea!

“The sauce was a bit of a different story. It was so thin! And full of the fat from the beef.”

I recently did a pulled pork recipe in the Instant Pot that uses the left over liquid where you remove the meat then use the saute setting for fifteen minutes or so to boil off liquid and at the same time skimming off the fat that floats to the top. I would think you could use this method for this recipe and maybe even add the sour cream, paprika and/or slurry and not have to use another pot. Thanks for the recipe.

Is there anything better than sour cream and paprika?! LOL. Although in my house it was sour cream and dill which is also fabulous of course.

Looking good, girl. Sorry about the sauce but at the same time, what a great way to learn and sour cream and paprika, I was raised on both.

That could be true Wayne, because it holds all the released liquid. Interesting, reducing the beef broth would a good idea. Thanks Wayne! I always appreciate your comments and support.

I think the problem of the ‘thin’ gravy is inherent with a pressure cooker . Really very little moisture escapes and the fat also adds to the problem,. I’d be tempted to cut down the beef broth to a bare minimum. Your note about treating the broth is spot on .
A great blog and a neat recipe to point out how to use this ‘modern’ cooking convenience to prepare ‘old time’ foods !!
