Set your Instant Pot to saute mode. Add meat, onion, chives, salt, pepper, and garlic. Saute until the meat is browned all over.
1 pound ground beef, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 2 Tablespoons dry minced onion, 2 Tablespoons dry chives, 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Add in your remaining ingredients, and mix together.
1 Tablespoon dried Italian herbs, 1 Tablespoon butter, 1½ cups chicken broth, 2 cups egg noodles, 20 oz. canned diced tomatoes
Add the lid back to the Instant Pot and close the sealing valve. Set your Instant Pot to high pressure for 8 minutes. Carefully quick release the pressure. Stir together, serve, and enjoy!
- If you want to thicken the sauce for your goulash a bit more, you can make a cornstarch slurry by mixing equal parts cornstarch and cold water, or add a light dusting of flour to the beef pieces before sauteing them.
- Try topping beef goulash with cheese after cooking. A cheesy addition is a great choice for serving kids!
- Beef broth can be used instead of chicken broth in this recipe, but I don't recommend using water, as it will not have as much flavor. However, if you want less salt in the recipe, water can be used.
- Fresh tomatoes can be used instead of canned diced tomatoes, if desired.
- You can use any type of pasta you like for this dish, not just egg noodles.
- For an extra dash of flavor, try adding a bit of Worcestershire sauce. I would add 1 to 2 tablespoons.
